What's a good first dirt bike?

Question:
I've been a terrific fan of motocross and offroad racing/riding since I was 10 yrs old, I am now 40 and I've never owned or riden a bike (I rode a mini bike a few times, the kind with a lawnmower engine) my question is, what is a good starter bike, a 125 or do you think I should start out smaller like an 85 or 65 or maybe even a pit bike like sikk or pitsterpro? p.s. I'm 6' 0" and 170 lbs. thanks for your answer.

For all the harley haters out there.?

Go to a cycle sales and sit on the bikes and talk to the pros--buy one you feel comfortable on and ask about pros and cons. My 5 year old grandson has a Yamaha 50 with training wheels!!

More power for a V-star 650 Custom?

I think you should try a 4 stroke dirtbike instead of a 2 stroke because you can baby it more when getting used to it, it doesn't have the crazy acceleration like you need to use in a 2 stroke to keep from fouling the pistons. As far as size you can go as big as a 250 with a 4 stroke because as I said you can baby it, and you wont get bored of it when you advance as fast.

Yamaha YZ 125 , as tall as you are it will fit you you, they have more power than you will most likely ever use, most of the pros and super x riders run 125 or 250's ,stick with the smaller ones they can hurt you plenty, my 19 year old son rides a 125 and it performs plenty good for him, he clears 90 ft table tops on it

Yamaha Seca II?

a 125 is probably a good choice ive been riding since i was 5 and that is what i still like to ride just be carefil and have fun

Is this dirt bike intended for children? or is it an adults bike? (read description)?

yamaha ttr250 would be a good starter bike for your size

Motorbikes?

It really depends on the power you want. I know you are just starting but as long as you are not stupid on it you can jump right onto a big bike. A 250 two-stroke will have great power and a really fast acceleration but can be uncontrollable (i started on a yz250) I would suggest jumping right on a 450. four-strokes are easier to maintain and to con troll and you will love that power that you can use to show off with. I am a Yamaha man myself but my friend just got a crf450x to start out on. It is fast with great power but easy to ride. And I also suggest you buy used, because most likely you are going to lay it over a lot and you dont want to scratch up your brand new $6,000 dollar machine.
