What (MX) bike to get with $4,000?

Question

I'm 15, 5'11 and almost 170 lbs. This will be my 5th bike. I was wondering what I could get with 4 grand. I'm pretty strong and athletic. I am very experienced with riding so I would only be looking at 125s, 250s or 250fs. Won't be racing. Just wanted YOUR opinion.

Answer 1

Go on craigslist and you can get a very nice 05-07 bike. I suggest Honda's Crf250R or Crf250X. The R is for racing, even if you wont be racing, it is an awesome bike. The X is very similar, except it has a headlight which is very handy to have if you are trail riding and it starts to get dark.

P.S. I am 6' and also 15 years old, I only weigh 140 and they are easy enough to control, yet they are very powerful.

Answer 2

If you want a four stroke go for the KX250f. but if you want a 2 stroke id get a cr 125 there good bikes and you can get an 2007 leftover for 4,100 brand new

Answer 3

Since you wont be racing, it doesn't matter which bike you should get. Just your preference of two stroke or four stroke. Two stokes do have cheaper repairs. If I had $4000 I would get a KX250F. I like Kawasaki's a lot and a four stroke is better for racing, since I race. I also recommend craigslist. I buy all my bikes from their postings.

Answer 4

Personally I'd get a used 250F (I'm a Honda guy, 2005 possibly 2006 if you look hard enough) but for trails I'd get a KTM 200xc. Both are about the same size but the KTM would have a little more punch up top. Just my opinion.

Answer 5

go for a kawasaki kx250f these bikes are the best 250f they handell well have a really strong motor and look the best

Answer 6

Depends dude you say your experience and its your 5th bike so you must ride alot. I would go with a crf250. Hondas 4 stroke is awesome and easy to ride. also, it's the best bike i have ever been on. But best of all if you do ride alot the 4 stroke in the long run will be good since gas is so high, and will only get higher.
