UM LIKE YEA

Hey all well i do know alot about bikes and stuff and i had one when i was 6 till 8 and then sold it but havent had one seince cause um money problems but my mom said that this year she will get me a bike so i can get a used one from like ebay like in the next couple monthes and can go up to 1,700 or wait till x-mas and get like an 04 or 05 so which should i go for? i also live in vegas so its hot here and i wanna ride desert racing like start racing in the next couple years and should i get a 2 or 4 stroke.

What do you mean by 1700? Is that the max amount of money you are allowed to spend?

If so, I guarantee you won't find a 05 or 04 for this amount.

How tall/old are you?

i think he is saying he can buy a bike soon for 1700>*, or wait till xmas and get a 05

think thats what he ment too/

Yea thats wat im sayin like i can get a bike in september or oct. or wait till christmas and get and 04 or 05 i dont know wat but yea im im like 6'0 6'1 um and im 14 and i weigh like 190?

If I were you, I would wait to get a new bike, an 04 or 05, but that's going to cost at least double the amount of what you can spend now. At least!

As far as what bike... what kind of riding are you going to be doing? Trails or track?

If track, then what class? 125 or 250?

What kind of bike do you want? 2 or 4-stroke?

I think a 250 2-stroke might be good for you, or, a 250 4-stroke. I don't think a 125 has quite the umf you want, that is... if your going to be racing.

Um well i live in nevada so desert racing cause that it jus fun to me so most likely a 2 stroke and if i get one it will prob be a yz or kx

how tall how much do you weigh how much can u spend at the most oh and start of easy don't go extrem yet.

Read other peoples comments and those questions you have would be answered.

for you , you might want to wait for christmas because a good 125 for 1700 is hard to find , im not giving your hopes up though it doesnt hurt to try!. cheack ebay , cycle traders stuff like that. BTW your a big kid for 14. 61 190lbs!!!! i know full gorwn men not even that big

No offence Jake but a 250 2-stroke, I think, would be a bit too much for a 14 year old who hasn't been riding a bike for 4 years.

I think a 125 2-stroke or a 250 4-stroke would be best for you. For the make just pick a colour.

Um yea im big i jus have a tall family my mom is 5'7 and my dads 6'0 but like my uncles are like 6'8 so imma be around 6'4 220 pounds when im full grown.

well idk i mean ive riddin raptors yfz450 and like banshee quads and those are all powerfull ones i dont think a 250 should be that much trouple i jus gotta get use to the powerband and stuff

I believe it comes down to the person.

Here in Germany we have a VERY fast rider (14 years old), who's about 5' 10"-170 lbs. who won the open class (any CC amount allowed) yesterday on a 250. Sure he has been riding since he was 4 which is a huge difference but I think it all comes down to the person and how they handle stuff.

I'm very confident in a few people I know (even those who don't ride at all) I could hand a CR500 to them and they wouldn't get hurt yet I know people who I actually ride with where I don't trust them riding a 50.
