[QUOTE="Sahinoz, post: 1223783, member: 79892"] I'll get a bike in 2 weeks. I live in Istanbul and I have to ride 30miles to go to MX track and trails, so I'm thinking to get a bike with headlights, and an e-start because I'll ride hard and I think I will fall a lot.. I'm riding MTB(mountain bike) close to a pro, I'm new in motocross, only 6 hours experiance in track.. I rode a XT350 and it's not mine, and I know that it's not a motocross machine, so I wanna get serious about learning motocross. I feel comfortable in general but my jumps are not so good for now. I think 450cc 4stroke bikes are suitable for me: Honda CRF450X, Yamaha WR450, Husaberg FE400-450 or KTM 450 EXC.. But I really cant decide which one is suitable for me. I tested XR650R and found it a bit heavy. I'm light and my bike should be light too.. What can you say about those bikes if I want a comparision, or it'll be good if you just write your experiances.. And I heard that CRF250X can make me a better rider than CRF450 will do, is that true??? Here is my specifications ;) 1) Your physical size I'm 170cm and 63kg(140lbs), and 18 years old. 2) How physical / aggressive are you ? I'm not pro but I like to ride agressive as much as possible, and I have really good endurance because I'm riding mountain bike and also I'm running, and a bit weight lifting. I'm not powerful but you can say light and fast, and have good balance on bikes. 3) What do you plan to ride (MX/SX tracks, woods, fields?????) I want to get used to my bike with riding in fields with friends and then I wanna get into motocross.. 4) Do you have any riding experience? Not too much but I rode many bikes: Yamaha XT660X, XT350(on MX track, but track doesnt include whoops and it only has little bumps, it has tabletops and tights corners, so it's a simple track) KTM 640 ADV, Honda XR650R, I tried all of them.. 5) Do you think you will race ? I dont know, I mean I'm ambitious and really want to race but I'm a student so if I break my leg or sth it'll be too bad for me, maybe I should get into enduro races which are softer :) 6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? I dont know anyhing for now but I want to learn, at least I can learn changing the oil & air filters.. 7) Do you have a preferance to a motor choice? I have to ride my bike on road when I wanna go off-road, so I think 2-stroke wont be good for that, and I think I prefer linear powerband. And I tend to Honda CRF450X, but I dont know really.. 8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? Yes there's all of the brands' dealers close. 9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike? Prices are high in Turkey. I can't afford a new KTM, Husaberg and that brands, I can only buy a new CRF450X. But I can find used KTM, Husa or Yamaha.. [/QUOTE]
