I'm 16 5'11 and 170lbs. what is the best bike for me?

Question

I've been riding for 3 1/2 years. started on an XR 100 then i bought a 2000 ke 100. ive been told 125 2 strokes are the way to go. but also 250 4strokes are good too. is a 250 2 stroke too much. I'm very athletic and know how to ride, but i'm not sure if i should get a 125 or 250 or a 250 2stroke. or should i go to racing atvs? i live a 1/4 mile from a MX track in the sub country.

Answer 1

I'm 16, 5'11 and 170 too. I got a YZ125. It's 2-stroke, and it's great. I like them better than the 250f's. I'd go with the 125 2-stroke cause they sound better, ride better and are better.

And the guy above said get a 150 2-stroke... they don't even make those... honda makes a 150f, but that's way too small for someone our size.

Answer 2

If you need a dependable bike your looking for than you should get a Honda 150cc 2 stroke

Answer 3

Go to a motorbike shop and sit on a couple of bikes the crf250r is a great bike and both my sons have one.  My youngest also races a 2 stroke 125cc and believes that while he love his 125cc the 250cc has more balls.

Do you know anyone that has a similar bike and would let you test ride it to see if you like it?  

Also if you are near a track go along and see what classes they have and what bikes are in those classes as that may help you to decide.  You could also speak to some of the guys that ride and ask their opinion.

Buy what you want.

Answer 5

I would go with a CRF250,251,252 or what ever it takes. However nothing will match the power of the mighty rotary disk valve of the KE100.
