Any advice for beginner on buying a Dirt Bike Motorcycle?!?!?

Looking to buy a 2000 Yamaha YZ125, the bike is in excellent condition, never raced, and has been professionaly maintained. It has many modifications. I want a nice learning bike for riding trails & back wood areas. Good? No way? Whatcha think?

What is your weight ? If your over 150 pounds you need to move up in motor size. What price is the seller asking for the bike?

The YZ is a high revving motor. Not good for just taking it easy. Maybe a dual purpose bike would be better.

Try riding the bike. Do you like it?

something small. go 125- 250 cc. good for dirt biking and beginner riding. i had a suzuki dl 650 . great bike but big for a starter bike.
life as arider.
i think that you should stay away FAR AWAy from dirt bikes! i am living proof that you if you dont know how to ride one, just dont do it! i have a broken leg, which not has a titanium rod inside the bone which is held in place with 2 screws.....sucks a s s. Dirtbikes arent safe, even the most experienced rider will have wrecks and bad breaks, why put yourself through that? its not worth the pain. seriously, get another hobby! good luck!
