[QUOTE="plynn41, post: 1400509, member: 107560"] Yes and yes. It's high maintenance, and the maintenance isn't cheap. Keeping the valve train in spec on a 4-stroke is what makes them more expensive than 2-strokes, and the high revving 250f will go through valve train parts quicker than any other dirt bike on the market. If you aren't racing and revving the bejebies out of it, the valve train will last a lot longer. There's a good chance the valve train on the bike you can purchase for $1000 may need a rebuild, and that will cost a lot, depending on whether you can do the work yourself or not. Yes, I believe it would be a good bike for a beginner with your specs (as you described yourself). It will be quick and powerful, but the power delivery is forgiving and you ought to be able to control it as you learn. Like ANY bike, you can definitely hurt yourself if you're an idiot. [/QUOTE]
