What is a good motocross bike for a beginner girl?

Question

I'm 16, I've never really ridden a real bike before, just messed around on mini bikes. I'm about 5'4 115-120 lbs.

I heard Honda bikes are good?

But I'm still a little lost.

Answer 2

Hi Reggie, depending on what type of riding you are going to be doing, there are a lot of good beginner bikes out there. If you want a fool proof trail bike that will handle jumps or riding a motocross type track, go with a Honda CRF. I would stay away from anything two stroke (CR, RM, KX, YZ) unless you have a mechanic handy. All four japanese brands make a four stroke racing bike; but these bikes are wicked fast and not really good beginner bikes. I have a Yamaha TTR125 that I ride as a play bike, and I am 6'2" and 37 years old. The bike is tall enough and has good power. I have owned several Honda XR's and CRF's over the years, and these bikes are low maintenance and indestructible. When I raced I always used Yamahas. Now a days, all of the manufacturers base the four stroke bikes on the same platform so they're all good. But if you want one that you can just get on, kick it started, and ride off wherever, go with the Honda CRF 150 or 230. The best thing to do is go to a bike shop and sit on each size to see which one fits you right. You should be able to touch your feet on the ground and balance the bike. There are tons of used ones around in perfect shape; go to your local gas station and buy a Cycle Trader and save a ton of money. The first time you ride that brand new one through a mud puddle or some brush it's going to look like a used one anyway. Hope I helped and good luck on your new venture!
