Which motocross?

wiza_gab — GMT

Hi! I want to buy a motocross but I never driving one, so I want to know which motocross do I have to buy. I am 13 years old and I just want to ride in the wood and I need a small motocross because I'm 5"2 height but I grown quickly. My budget is maximum 2200$US and I don't want a used bike (new stuff only). Thanks for helping me! Ps: Sorry for my bad english, I am Canadian French. 8)

I hear that there are too reactive, it's not good for a begginer no?

here are the bikes you should look at rm85cc yz85cc cr85cc kx85cc rm100cc kx100cc depending on the dealership, you should be able to get them for $1900-$2500 US. good luck!

thats the second time youve said that right?anyways,please stop your just as bad as reglaracing or w/e,saying that 4 strokes are the best a suzuki is no better than any other bike anyways,theres no way you can buy a new bike with $2200...used it is by the way,its not a motocross,its a dirtbike motocross is the sport,a dirtbike is what they ride in the sport 2 strokes: i would reccomend any 85 or 85 big wheel or 100 (yz85,cr85,cr 85 expert,rm100,rm85,rm85l,kx100,kx85) their all great bikes,i didnt say the ktm,becuase they are really expensive,still good bikes though go to the shop,and sit on all the 85,85bw,and 100's and pick one but,the 85's and 100's would be kinda hard for you to ride,because they arent really beginner bikes the 85's,and the 4 stroke 125's would be a little small for you though... 4 strokes: if i were you,i would get an xr100,ttr-125l,klx125(do they make an L version?)or drz125l ^^^their all cheap,easy matience,and good for beginners get the 4 stroke,it would be alot better for your riding style(beginner,woods,ect)

Okay thanks! And also I have 2200$ + the cash for taxes. What I have to do to maintain my bike before and after each ride? Another question: Honda is not good?

Ps: I don't want a competition bike, I want a more a off-road style like this: http://powersports.honda.com/motorcycles/off-road/model.asp?ModelName=CRF80F&ModelYear=2005&ModelId=CRF80F5&bhcp=1 (just an example and too small for me I think...)

hondas are GREAT bikes any of the name brand bikes(yamaha,kawasaki,suzuki,ktm,honda) their alll great bikes if you dont want a race bike,then the xr100,ttr-125,ttr-125L,klx125,klx125L(do they make an L version?),drz125,drz125L those are all low matience,4 stroke,beginner, trail bikes

sorry for saying suzuki is the best,its just my opinion.also why are 2 strokes not for beginers,and why are 85'5 not for beginers?also what do you mean a suzuki is to reactive???

and this is because...give some reasoning to why their so great?

also why are 2 strokes not for beginers,and why are 85'5 not for beginers?

their more powerful,very "jumpy" when they hit powerband,a beginner wouldnt understand how to handle somthing that powerful(usually)

also what do you mean a suzuki is to reactive?

to "jumpy" im guessing,to strong of a powerband but anyways,the cr and yz have are more "jumpy" than the rm

rmfan81 — GMT

cool,yeah actually the rm is pretty jumpy,but i dont mind it.also im not saying the other bikes arent good,im just a fan of the rm.the rm has great suspension,is powerful,fast,very good allaround.but the other bikes are great too.if your looking for speed go with the ktm.if it is jumps you want definently get a rm,or a cr.also kawasaki is very good aswell as yamaha.their all very good bikes,their really is no best,its whats best for you.for me an rm is best.its different for everyone.

bump up to the crf100. The 80 and 100 are the same chassis and motor, just different sized wheels and larger displacement. You'd be really happy with tha bike for a while.

I want to buy this one: http://honda.ca/MotorcycleFre/CurrentModels/Off-Road/CRF100F5.htm What do you think of it? :D

mxr823 — GMT

For a while. I think he would be more happy in the long run with an 85cc. Even if he doesn't want to race it. Ask any person that has bought a small trail bike. They hate it after a two months. They are a waste of money if you ask me. If i would have done what the guy at the dealership told me, i would have wasted $1000 in "beginner bikes" They told me to get a ttr125 when i first started. What did it do? I walked out side to the used bikes, said i'll take this one (2002rm125), learned to ride it well in less then a few weeks, and I saved $1000. They are not hard to learn to ride on. No matter what people say about "power" anyone can learn to ride on any bike. An 85 isn't hard to learn on. But if he does want a trail bike, at least get an crf150. You can have fun on it for a few months... i would go with this instead...

even tho im a die hard yamaha fan for life.. id say get the honda or maybe a DR125... yeah i know.. kinda off the hole issue but whatever

not a bike i would get,but then again its your choice not mines.

wiza_gab — GMT

Yeah but I never ride and i'm little (5p2 or 3 i dont remember but i grown fast, like 1 inches by 1 or 2 month so I have some pain to my knee lol)

mxr823 — GMT

hmmm..... what about a ttr-230 a little bigger,about the size of an 85...but a 4 stroke trail bike a ttr-230 or crf-230 will be great

VeNoM6 — GMT

I would NEVER reccomend a tt-r 230. I have seen so many of those bikes with problems. Actually, let me rephrase: the 225's have problems, don't know about the 230's. I too would recomend a 2-stroke 85, any brand. If not, go with the CR-F 150 like everyone has said.

if you are 13 than a honda crf 230 would be good

get a 125 4 stroke. i prefer the drz 125l that i just got. You would outgrow a 100 faster than a 125.

Ok, if this poor kid is getting bomb-barded with all these bikes, let's throw this one in the mix shall we. My Nephew is almost 11, he's 5' 6" tall and aprox 150lbs. (he's NOT fat, just really big, an inch shorter then me and 15 lbs heavier). He's been riding since he was 4 years old. He has been riding a 2002 ttr 125 since Christmas of 2002. His bro 13 has the same bike just the L model. Both boys are looking for a newer bike, one wants a thumper, the other a 2 smoker. What would you recommend? The 11 year older would really like to start racing, but he will be riding flat track and our "mini" MX track here on the farm, he rides really rough and the faster he can go, the better. My personal opinion for you, being a beginner, test ride each of the bikes at your dealer. Only YOU will know what you can handle. Better to be safe then sorry... Most dealerships have test areas, so that would be the best thing for you right now. Good luck to ya!

I agree i had a crf150 about a year ago and i grew out of it and i always wanted more power so i now have a yz125 i think the crf 230 would be a good bike to start on it might be a little tall but you should grow into it
