I have ridden bikes on trails before. But I am looking for something to ride MX. I have never ridden MX before, and I realize I need to practice alot before I ever start. What bike would be good for me? I am looking to learn, but also something that once I feel ready I could attempt to compete on. I have been looking into Honda's, namely the CR250R. Any ideas, reccomendations, or overall thoughts as to what a ideal bike for me would be?

From your height and weight, it seems that would be ideal for a 250.
But a CR250 is generally not a very good bike to learn on without ever riding an MX bike before.. However, you say you have ridden trails before, so I am guessing you have the general idea of how to ride a bike, and thats good.
They require alot of skill, and even some of those who have that skill, prefer a 125. Myself included. By the way, 125 and 250s are the same seat height.
Personally, I like 125s, and I have ridden plenty of 250s, and I like to be able to manhandle 125s. But hey, a 250 might be perfect for you

I am 6'-2" and around 270 and ride a CR250. I grew up on bikes so its not like I was learning when I got this bike. If I had to do it again I would get a 450. They are much easier to ride IMO and if you are a older guy thats where you'll be heading in the future. :thumb:

A 250 will be a great tool for practising riding if you don't want to go four-stroke.
