nah if ur gonna geta dirt bike u better get a kawasaki or honda 450. dont get a 250 u will regret it. i need a 4 stroke 450cc bike. honda has the new fuel injection and u get instant response time on the throttle. great bike. i have on e and i have a kawasaki. i ride bikes all the time. yamaha sucks. event he my favorite rider rides on in the supercross races. James Bubba Stewart. well its also all preference. u should go by what u feel comfortable with. but u need to get a 450 for sure. tons of power and i u will never reach the full potential of bike so it will last awhile.
