I want to buy a used dirt bike. How do you know what models are for adults? Any other tips or help? ?

Question

I have never owned one before and am getting confused at the cc's etc. They all look the same to me. Also any tips on what to look for or what would be issues would be great. Thanks!

Answer 1

if your looking for a beginer bike look into a honda or a yamaha 200 250 but make it 4 stroke 2 stroke has a little to much kick for a begginer and 4 stroke will also save you money on gas and time in the shop and i would suggest a used bike mabey so u dont end up totalling a $4500 bike

Answer 2

A normal-sized adult male (since your question lacks specificity) would be comfy on at least a 250.  5'8"-6'2"  180-225 lbs.

Answer 3

2 stroke or 4 stroke?

if it's a 2-stroke you could maybe get a 125cc bike. They are big enough but you might want more power depending on how big you are. a 250cc bike would be plenty for anyone.  

If it's a 4 stroke, you need a bigger one. Don't go under 250cc's.
