im think about getting a bike.

[Hatchhonda19]

im thinking about getting a dirt bike in the next couple months i want somthing cheap. and i want a 250 i found i guy wiht a older 1985 yz250 says it runs needs nothing. he wants like $550 i would give him more then $250 for it but what do you guys think. heres a pic.. i have found 125cc's of like 200-300 with blown top ends like 89-95. but im a big guy and i feel ill need a 250cc and i may convert it to dual sport so they wont bother me when im riding.

go for it man 250 haul ass man

 

[ron89]

yea thats a nice bike but parts for it would be some what hard to get. if you can get a newer 125 for cheap that would prolly be your best bet,

Wat he said^^^^^^^^^^^^^

IDK, thats a pretty old bike. You could get a much newer bike like a ttr 125 for prolly like $900. True its not as fast as that 250, but its a good bike to start on and u can always sell it in a year or two and u could get something like a crf230 or something

I just picked up a 1994 RM80 on craigslist a few weeks ago for $200. It needed bored and a top end done, right now I'm working on gathering the funds for a new top end and in the meantime have been working on little things on it. I'm pumped to get the motor redone.

get it i love the old bikes they were so simple compared to now a days

 

[visipe]

yeah its prety old id try to find something newer there is good deals out there, u just gota look

 

[blasterrider119]

go for it my dad said he raced dirt bikes and he loves them more than quads, mabye you would think that then to

 

[Braapbraap95]

Do it dude. I wish I had a bike. Its nice to mix it up a bit. 4poke/2stroke, or MC/ATV/ATC.

 

[245stroker]

Like stated before, parts might be hard to find. Why not look for a newer 125? The newer 125's make descent power and you can find them pretty cheap

YZ 250F!, good bike

 

[Hatchhonda19]

i don't want a 4 stroke.. i don't want to have to fix a 4 poke.. and there mad slow.. ill need to get a 500cc to be at the same speed as a 250cc 2 stroke.

 

[tyler2277]

well what kind of bike are you lookin for, trail or mx? and ttrs are ok but sooo slow and not a lot of power at all, my buddie has one and its reall hard to even pull the tires off the ground

If your looking for a good woods/trail bike, check out the KDX200/220. They are awesome trail tuned 2 strokes that you can lug, or wind out. Plus you can find them dirt cheap. I rode one the other day and they're really nice bikes.

You lose, dont make assumptions if you dont have information. But if you are just going to go fast in a straight line then dont get a motocross bike. No dirtbike is made for that, so dont try. If you are going to ride trails get a KDX like someone else said. or a wr250f or 450f. And you dont have to work on them, IF YOU TAKE CARE OF IT.

If you want a 2 stroke trail bike go with a Kawasaki KDX200 (I've seen older ones cheap on CL). If you want an older MX bike you should have no problem finding an older 250 2 smoker on CL either.
