Alright i'll start with the basic stuff:
I'm fifteen and looking for a first bike
I'm currently 6'5" and 160 pounds, I'm very lanky and will probably be around 6'7" to 6"8 and around 220 when I'm done growing, its a family tradition.
I plan to do alot of trail riding and some messing around and jumping at tracks but have no interest in racing. I am moderatly aggressive so i need a bike with some zip but with a smooth powerband that dosnt need to be ridden full throttle. With my limited experiance I have very limited mechnical skills so reliablity is a factor. I am not biased towards any brands but would prefer one with good support and a reputation of reliability. I am leaning toward a four stroke 250 cc bike, something large enough for me to be comfortable as I grow up. Price is not really an issue, as they all are close to the same.
Any ideas?
-peace out

I havent completly ruled out a two stroke 125 but I have not interest in racing so I'd rather have a smoother bike. What differences could I expect besides performence, such as reliability and maintenence demands between a two stroke 125 and a four stroke 250?
