Really enjoyed this! I'm an Adult Male, 6'1'' 200 lbs, what Bike is good to start on ? I'm getting all KINDS of information. Many are telling me a 250 and others say a 125 up to a 450 can all be fine as long as you have throttle control. I have been riding snowmobiles for 20 plus years and I ride an 850 now but it's no different really than a 600 as along as you understand how to control the power, Thanks!

[@MotocrossHideout]

Hey Dean, thanks for watching - glad you liked it! Any of those are possible to start on, but riding a dirt bike off-road is quite a bit different than any sled based on my experience. If you want something that's easy to learn on, then I recommend a 250cc air-cooled trail bike or similar (depending on your budget). The 250 or 450 enduro/mx bikes are fun, but the snappy power and stiff suspension make it more exhausting and harder to control when you're just starting out - especially at low speeds or tight trails. Something like an XR250, DRZ250, TTR250, or KLX300R are easy to ride and maintain. What do you think, Dean?

[@deang4438]

@@MotocrossHideout Really appreciate the reply back, thanks! I have looked at so many ideas and options. I do know that I will not be riding on the road at all. A good friend of mine recommended a DRZ 650 which I looked at and right away I ruled that out at 366 lbs. I will be looking at new, I will look at the models you mention, just don't want to get something that I will out grow fast in be stuck trying to sell it.

[@MotocrossHideout]

For sure. Yes, the DR650 would not be a good off-road bike if you're not riding on the road due to its weight. I totally understand that you don't want to outgrow it quickly, but if you were a close friend I'd still recommend something that's easy to ride. I continually hear from my students and audience that started out with "too much bike" thinking they could "grow into it" if they just have good throttle control... In reality, it just slows down your learning curve if you want to become a confident trail rider. Here's my article on the best dirt bikes for tall riders: motocrosshideout.com/best-dirt-bike-for-tall-riders/ Also, don't be afraid to by a slightly used model for your first bike. Trail bikes are generally easier to sell because they hold their value better. A new bike is going to get scratched up anyway in the woods or if you tip it over :)

[@deang4438]

@@MotocrossHideout Thanks for all of the information and sending the article for tall riders, I will read that now. As for used Bikes what I'm finding is they're asking as much if not more for a used Bike (2 to 3 years old) than a new bike. I know how people ride and for the same price or a little more I would rather have piece of mind buying new, knowing the Bike has not been abused, crashed, bent frame etc... I know how people ride Toys and how they abuse them.

[@Duplexpine]

Nice, I've been thinking about trading in my quad for a bike. I was looking at the crf300l rally for trail riding but i heard the suspension is soft. What else would you recommend? I'm 5'10" and 300lb

[@MotocrossHideout]

At 300lbs any dirt bike is going to be soft. For slow trail riding under 15 mph you might be okay, but you're start bottoming out once you push the pace off-road. If you don't need a street legal bike, I'd stay away from dual sport bikes because they're heavier and harder to handle on tight or slower trails. Something like the CRF250F or KLX300R would be great to start on. Trail riding a bike is quite a bit different than riding a quad. Let us know what you end up with!

When ur shifting gears up to you have to hold the clutch

[@MotocrossHideout]

Okay, gotcha! Well, if you were a close friend, I'd have a hard time recommending those motocross bikes to start out on (especially since it's been so long for you on a pit bike) for a number of reasons... Safety being #1. Starting out in an open space is a great plan. Race bikes are just harder to control and learn on because they have snappy power and stiff suspension, which make it hard to control at low speeds and more exhausting. Here's a video on some of the best beginner bikes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5ubemqui6unrc0 I also just started a 30-day/30-video Beginner series on how to get into dirt biking safely without breaking the bank. With that said, if you end up getting a 250 motocross bike, all the recent models are good. If you're buying used, just look for the cleanest one that was properly maintained. Does that make sense, Shaun!
