Question

If i am 14 years old 5 foot 9 and 130 pounds would i be able to ride a 250cc bike?

Answer 1

no its not worth going that big a big wheel 85 or crf 150r would be a better choice. they have all the power you need

Answer 2

My son  who is 15 and very slight for his age races a crf250r  and is only 5ft 5inches tall and weights 48 kilos which is about 105 pounds.  He finds it a bit hard in the rough but does okay on it.

My older boy of 17 is much the same weight as you although about an inch shorter and I would say he was ideal for the bike.

So you should be able to manage one depending upon your ability on a bike as you don't say what experience you have had.

Answer 3

yea,, if you can handle it, : ),,

Answer 4

Yes, you should be able to ride a 250. It also depends if its a 250 2 stoke or if its a 250f 4 stroke. But either way you should be able to. I am 5 foot 10 and weigh 160 pounds and I am 14 years old. I race a 250f 4 stroke and 250 2 stroke and a 450 4 stroke. And I am able to ride them. But it also depends on how good of a rider you are. I race amateur class now and I am going to move up to expert by the end of this year so it is easy for me to ride big bikes. But if you are a beginner or novice I would say it would be harder so I wouldn't know. Unless I saw you ride. But yeah that's what I think.

Answer 5

You would be able to ride a 250 just fine with your height and weight. It just depends on your skill level.

Answer 6

yeah you could as long as you have the expirience

Answer 7

why not, Ricky carmichael, the best motocross racer here in the USA, is only 5 foot 5 inches tall, and he raced a 450 cc four stroke.....

as long as you can reach the ground while you are sitting on the bike, you should be fine.....

Answer 10
