[MX528]

Some time soon im going to be buying my first dirtbike.Ive been riding quads for 4 years and just dont get a kick outa it anymore so im switching to dirtbikes :thumbsup:Im 5'9 128 pounds and have no experience on a dirtbike wich would be better for me? 125 or 85? ?

i'd go with a 125. they're not abruptly powerful. and their size better suits your height! ?

[MX528]

Thanks for the quik responce!

The olny thing holding me back from the 125 is the power, being ive never rode a dirtbike id be kind of scared getting on to such a powerfull bike.. ?

[cyclepsych0]

it's really all in your throttle control. i think an 85 is a bike you would outgrow quickly. both physically and in your ability. the power of a 125 is nothing to be intimidated by. you pretty much have to keep it pinned and in the upper rpm's to get race speed out of it. as long as you take it slow and control that right hand, you'll have no problem learning on a 125! ?

maybe a crf230?

[MX528]

I was considering a 230 but i figured sooner or later i would end up racing and from what i read 230's arnt veryy good for mx
