[QUOTE="EZ3SFFJ, post: 1346498, member: 105911"] I wish there was a newb section so I could ask this question. I am about to buy my first PERSONAL bike. I have ridden a few dirt bikes and have two sport bikes. I am trying to decide between a 250 or 450 but only want a four stroke. I am confident on a sport bike and ride pretty aggressive. I know ill be the same when it comes to MX. Go big or go home. My friend that races is all for the 450 and I am definitely leaning towards that because I know ill get use to it quickly. About me: 22 y/o 185 lbs/6'0 I live down the street from a MX track and it also has 15 acres of trails. I'll mainly be on the track because I would like to start racing but ill do the occasional trails with my wife. In the end, my goal is to get into a few races by mid fall to winter. The races are open to 250s and 450s against each other so I want to be able to keep up. I know its all about the rider but thats just another factor on my mind. Whatcha think? FOR THE WIFE This will be her first bike and she is a little extreme women too. Shes ridden quads a good amount of times but only a few times on a dirt bike. I want to either get her a 150 or 230 dirt bike. She will be out on the track a lot with me but with a totally different mind set and I know she wont get crazy but she can definitely pick up things fast and handle her own. She wants to race too but on a lower level. She weighs about 120 and is 5'7/5'8. I was thinking about getting her a bike with an electric start so she doesn't get frustrated on hard days and she can just push a button. Also factoring that the 150 weighs about 70 pounds less but I want her to feel content with the power. Help and thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
