What is a better dirt bike for me?

Question

Well, I'm 16. I mostly ride trails, but I love to go fast and don't really like 2 stroke. I'm coming off of a yamaha 125. I'm trying to decide between Honda and KTM. I'm a girl, too, so if that matters for anything.... anyways. I was thinking about a 250 size, no bigger. What is the right bike for me and why?

Answer 1

You will probaly want a crf 250 if your getting a honda dont get a 230

Answer 2

I would get a CRF230

Answer 3

If you are only intending upon doing trails have a look at the CRF230 as that is a trail bike and size wise should suit you.  If you intend upon doing a bit of track riding and racing or just want a bike that can take a jump as it has the proper suspension then look at any of the known brand 250f's.  But your best bet is to go along to some dealerships and sit on a few to try them for size.  You don't have to purchase new from them, but just get an idea of what you are after and then look around for second hand.  If you have been riding the yz125 you may find the crf230 a bit of a disappointment and want a 250f.

Good luck anyway

My stepbrother has a honda CRF 250 he is 17

the 250's ride alots smoother than 125's do.

Answer 5

KTMs are nice but they are really expensive.  also i wouldnt call them trail bikes(more like racers).  i have a yz250f and used it on trails in Oregon.  it was great.  you might want to check out the honda crf250x  it is a 250 but a more mellow trail version.  kind of a cross between a race and a trail bike.
