  1. ...one with 2 wheels


  2. kawaski 125 enduro, the 250 would be better for the weight but may be a little high for the height

  3. Well, like I did for someone else, there are more things you need to consider here. Are you going strictly off-road? If so, like the other guy said, a 125 would likely do ok, also help with the height, but for your weight, a 250 would be better. Are you experienced or not? If not, it would be best to learn on a 125 or maybe the Honda 150, my boss got one for his kid, and it's a rocket for its size. You'll have to trade up eventually, but it's safer this way, and a lot of the 125's are pretty peppy and you can throw them around instead of having to muscle a bigger bike you aren't comfortable with. One thing too, if the weight is excess weight, if you start riding hard and watch what you eat and drink, you'll tone up really fast, and I'm serious, when I was a teenager, I was in pretty good shape, and a lot of it was from constant dirt bike riding. It's one of the best exercises there is, and that's from a study I saw not long ago. They were talking MXers, but believe me, even consistant hard recreational riding works too, just watch the diet. If you are racing, then get all the bike you can, I'd suggest starting in the 125 class, of course you can run 250 4-strokes in that one. If on/off road, get a 230-250 4-stroke dual sport, remember, if you want to ride more than 40-50 miles on highway, you are going to have a sore butt, dirt bike seats suck on the road, plus they aren't fun in high winds because they are very top-heavy, they are like a sail. Like I suggested to another guy, a couple of months ago, "Cycle World" had an article about finding good used bikes, you might look for it. Also, make sure to stick to models that were around a while, price should be better and parts availability should too. If parts aren't fairly easy to get, you'll be stuck if you break down. Good luck, any brand name should be pretty good to go with.

  4. one you can peddle lard @ss

  5. What is your riding expierance and what type of riding are you going to do? If you are going to trail ride and no experance a honda 250 or yz 250 if you are going to ride track then get a two stroke 125 or bigger if you are an expieranced rider or plan on riding a lot and aren't really agressive to where you'll kill yourself then get a honda 450 or yamaha yz450...My husband is 6 foot and around 200 lbs and he was in expierance and bought a 250 but we ride all the time so within a year he had out grown the brand new 6500 dollar 250 and was asking for a 450...That is the only thing to be cautious of ...But you could ride a 250 forever with your size also you could look at the Yamaha 225xt these are dual sports but they are nice if you are just trail riding...
