Question

Im 5'9" about 170lbs and I want to learn to ride dirt bikes. Im looking at a 125cc and Im not sure if its something ill grow out quickly.

What size bike should I be buying?

Answer 1

I would go for a honda 4 stroke...probably a crf250r

Answer 2

If you are still growing then chances are you are right and will grow quickly out of the 125cc.  You don't say your age so it is a bit harder to give advise but I think if you are a beginner and looking for a bike that will last a bit longer growth wise then the Crf250r is probably a better option for you and would suit your weight a bit better than a 125cc

Answer 3

i think a honda is the best to go with. u should probably get a CRF150, 149cc four stroke

Answer 4

crf250r or crf250x....im 5'8" and only 65kg and i have a crf250r and its perfect for me...but if you havent rode very much i would go with the x model they arnt quiet as ballsy as the r

Answer 5

You do not want to learn on a 125 2 stroke. The new 250 4 strokes are incredibly powerful and easy to ride. You also do not want a 450 at your experience level. Any of the big 5 250 4 strokes would be a great choice.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Stick to the 4 strokes unless you want a 250 2 stroke. since you don't know how to ride I would recomend a 250f or getting a cheap used ttr230 or crf230 to learn on and then upgrading in a year.
