What would be a good beginner dirt bike for me? |
I am 13 almost 14 so i dont want anything huge. I considered the ninja but that wouldnt be good on dirt roads so what should i start out on? Oh yeah and it cant be like a loser bike it still has to be cool. lol 13 almost 14..... It depends a little bit on how tall you are but Yamaha makes a bike called a TTR 125 and Honda makes a bike called a CRF 125R. Both of these are fun bikes and not too difficult to handle, if you are a little taller for your age or you get some more experience you can always move up in size to a 230cc bike. If you are a little shorter they make a 70cc bike. Go to your dealer and ask a salesman if you can sit on one. They will let you but you might have to bring an adult with you. Then when you find the right one go and look for a used one. You will probably outgrow it so I wouldn't buy a new one. Then you can sell it when you get better and move on up to a big fast racer and stuff... [;-) Have fun.... ya i would say i crf 100f or a crf 125f A ninja isn't a dirt bike. Are you talking about a dirt bike or street motorcycle? 14 and thinking about buying a ninja? Where are your mum and dad? I think a Ts50x is ideal for you It all depends what you intend to do and where you can ride. Budget and mechanical skills come into it too. A 4 stroke trail bike can be a lot of fun and reliable needing only basic maintenance skills. They don't make so much noise but are not terribly fast. Motocross bikes are dedicated, highly tuned racing machines which require regular maintenance and are not as reliable.You get no enjoyment while they're lying broken! Trials bikes are not designed for speed at all but can be a lot of fun with they're go anywhere capabilities.They tend to cause less offence as they are quiet and go unnoticed. Find out where you can ride i.e. type of terrain and proximity to habitation, and take all these things into account. Having a decent place to ride off road is well worth hanging on to, so don't do anything which might cause you to lose it.You don't have to go fast on a bike to have fun but it is one way! Here in PA they offer free motorcycle safety course and provide motorcycles for the course, They are 250's and most of them are Honda Shadows. These are good training cycles and are not very expensive. They start out teaching you the trip precheck through to avoiding hazzards on the road. We had 5 people in our class who have never driven a motorcycle, one of which never even been on a motorcycle before. Everybody passed the four day class and received their license. Try a smaller bike and work your way up until you become more experienced. However, if this will be your first bike buy used and pay cash, get the experience of riding before moving up to bigger and more expensive bikes. I have had friends who bought big bikes like Goldwings and rode only a few times then selling them at a loss because they weren't ready for a big bike. Nothing wrong with starting small and working up to bigger later on. In fact the smaller bike will normally sell quicker when you are ready to move up, then use the money for your next bike. Which ever bike you choose, stay away from sportbikes unless you don't mind paying 10-20 times more for insurance. Insurance companies consider these high risk and will charge you alot for coverage. Call your insurance company first and get a quote before you buy. |
