What's the best kind of dirt bike to get for someone who is just learning how to ride?

Question

i'm a 17 year old girl and i want to learn out to ride a dirt bike, but i'm not sure which kind of bike i need to get.

Answer 1

In my riding career as of now, I've stair stepped my bike sizes all the way up to  a 250F which is what I ride now.    From personal expierence I would definately recomend a Honda 150F or a 230F from either Honda or Yamaha (They Both offer one).  If you wanna get a dual sport, the Yamaha XT 225 is bullet proof. It's just heavy.   A fourstroke 125 is also a great bike to begin on. They're all pretty identical, so I would definately look for one in good shape and with a good price. Brand isn't all that important at the beginner level. :)    You may be able to find an older (most are 2000 or newer)  Yamaha TTR 225. These things are cheap, and bullet proof.  My friend has one, and the electric start is wonderful.           Good Luck.        Wear your gear, ride with someone, and ride safe! :)

Answer 5

honda crf150f

yamaha ttr125

kawasaki klx110

all of these are real easy to ride and all of the girls that ride with us use these bikes. and all of them are tanks and can handle as much crashing as you can provide

Answer 6

I also am a girl motocrosser. I started on a crf250r and it was tall so i got another 250- a yz250f. and ended up breaking my leg on it due to my height and not being able to touch the ground. I am 5 foot 4 but have short llegs. So I bought a yz85 and it is perfect for me. But I would say if you have the money to get a crf150r expert because they are a little taller for taller riders and a four stroke is a lot easier to ride than a 2 stroke, especially for a beginner. I would say got  to a motocross shop and ask to sit on the bikes, even if you are getting a used bike sit on all of the bikes close to 85's and 150's in height. and make sure you can touch the ground- cause with boots it makes it a tad harder to tip toe to the ground.
