What size dirt bike should i get.?

Question

I am 13, about 5-5 and 125 pounds. I love my 350 yamaha raptor but want to ride dirt bikes 2. I was looking at a yz 125 but will greatly accept any suggestions.

Answer 1

Had the exact same dilema 3 years ago. took me 8 bikes to figure it out

you're 5-5 and 125 huh?  

Ok well that depends, do you plan on riding MX or trails

If Racing MX you MIGHT consider a 125 two stroke (yz125 is best)

But other than that I wouldnt reccomend a 250f or a 125 2 stroke. I got on one at 14 at 5-6 and 130 and it was way to much (on trails and occasional mx)  it was just to peppy and my weight couldn't keep the back wheel under me. and there's no way you would be able to do a 250f trust me.

Ok the bikes I would reccomend though: if you want a four stroke, then the only one that you would want that isn't one of those crappy TT faimly trails style is a CRF150R (not the crf150f!!) other than that the other option is 2 strokes and for that either a YZ85 (yamies are good), CR85 or if the 85's arent big enough a KX100 (great bike- like a middle bike between an 85 and a 125 2 stroke).  

All in all Id say CRF150R if you can afford it or a KX100.

Answer 2

Not even going to bother with this one.

You do know you can click the " Discover " tab ?

Yahoo did not put it there for a joke, its to be used.

After 3 Top Contrib's have given your " question " a go, do you think you try again ?

Answer 3

As proc says you should do a search for other answers on this, but at 5ft5 you may find the 125cc a little big but if you are just riding for fun and likely to grow then you should be alright on one. Perhaps go along to a dealer and sit on a few bikes and get some advice as without knowing if you are likely to grow very quickly it is hard to advise you.

Answer 4

don't listen to them. you can ask it. that's what asking is for. i suggest a yz125 or a yz250f deffinetly. these are 2 very nice bikes that can go.

Answer 5

Put the words >  what bike <   into the "Search for answers " banner an see if it has risen from 86,866 answers. where it was last time i looked.

Im sure your height, weight and age  are in there somewhere.

just narrow the search

Answer 6

start with a 125 and be careful
