Should i?

hey im gettin a bike in the next couple monthes and wanna know this if i should get a 4 stroke or 2 stroke? i have ridden 4 strokes and i know they are a pain in the * to fix but i have never riddin a 2 stroke and i know they have alot of whip to them but im also wanten a 250 cause im like 6'0-6'1 and weigh 190 pounds so like wat would be best?

What would be best? That is completly up to you my friend.

I am a fan of two strokes, and will probably always ride them. Where-as some people like four strokes better, it's personal preferance really.

250's do have alot of power to them and if your un-experianced that could be bad. But then again I have seen alot of noob's go straight to a 250 and be fine.

It's up to you bro.

well said

i think, if your quite mechanically inclinder (know what your doing) a 4 stroke wont be a problem, if not, a 2 stroke might be better

get you hands on a 250 (a buddies, maybe the dealer will let you play on one in the parking lot or somthing)

what 4 stroke are you coming off of?

i would get a 2 stroke
they are cheaper
easier to work on
very light
and the most important thing...fun to ride.

id say that with your size you could get a 250. Just go slow at first and get used to it because those things have insane power.

i think a 250 is a bad idea

i have a 250 now, after 3 years on a 125,

i personally dont think a 250 as a first bike is a great idea, way to much power,

No its not my first bike i mean i had a bike but had to sell it and i ride my friends 250f and 500 fourstroke alot i mean i remember the first time i got on an 80 my ass flew off the dang thing but yea i think i can ride them like i wanna kx or yz and idk i think i can ride a 250 cause ive also rode quads in my past. raptors,z400,400ex

oh im 14 too

I'm with Adam on this one I think.

Maybe you should look into a 125?

I'm a big guy(230-340 LBS), and I can haul on my 125 when I want to.

well idk im leenin more for a 250 cause ive also riddin streetbikes ( R1) so i no how to handel it im thinkn but u know ill see

so ok who here has ever got a 250 for there first bike?
and if u have did u fly right off

well, it seems you have your mind made up despite the great advice i see here from others who have ridden mx bikes a longer time than you have. sure you may have ridden street bikes and quads but an mx bike is a different beast. especdially if your riding it on tracks/trails where hittng a bump wrong can make you twist the throttle and turn straight into a tree or another rider. and it happens more than anyome likes to admit.

if you need to feel like your the man and have a big bike then just get a 250 fourstroke. that way you can tell all your friends you ride a 250 but still have a bike you may be able to manage.

and NO i do not recommend a 250 2-stroke as anyones first bike.

hey man i aint tryin to be an ass im jus sayin wat ive ridden and if i am able to ride the 250 i mean im prob not gettin a 250 cause my mom says that 4strokes are a good choice and stuff but i dont think im the man at all so yea i know so thanx for every ones advice

get a 250f,

great idea

but make sure you know what your getting into

Yea i think ill do good on it i mean i cant jump no 30 feet on a bike but i do know how to ride and stuff

yzf250f
crf250f
rmz250f
kxf250f

get the 250 two stroke i went 100 to a 250 its that big of a deal if hes road a r1

dude im 14,im about 6 feet tall and i weigh 130.ur freakin 190 pounds!!!!!!holy shlt

No offence dude, but I'm calling B.S.

There's no way you've ridden an R1 at 14 without killing yourself. Those are the most powerful machines on 2 wheels. Unless your like a motoGP rider from europe, I don't beleive it.

No sane person would let a 14 year old ride an R1
But If you have actually ridden one, dont screw around with a 250F or 125, get a 250 2stroke.
