after all its all good an well wanting a big lairy 450 thumper but its no gud tyo you iv youve never ridden a mx track before mate
i know a few people who think " ahh im a big lad who can ride a road bike ect , i dont need a pansy 125 "
belive me , i well set up 125 /250 will kick ass round a track ,
so could you answer the above ??
your so right!!! ive been riding since i was four years old! i intorduce my mates to the sport they dont relise how tough it is! and simply its not enjoyable for beginners and IMO you dont start properly enjoying the sport until about 3 years of experience... i race enduro competitions mainly and practice on motocross tracks.... but seriously.... any car 500bhp or whatever you wont beat the pull my 250 two stroker snaps at ya! power to weight ratio is awesome... IMO and fact has it 450 four stroke is no more powerful than 250 two stroke there both MX1 class bikes....
and yes ur totally correct... even if you weigh 16stonne... trust me a 125cc motocross bike will easily have u thrown of the back when she kicks in! motocross is not focussed on beginners u go to practice tracks there all rough and jumpy excellent for me now but i remember i was a beginner once and takes a lot of commitment to see it out!
there should be open flatter tracks for beginners to get in the mix its such a good sport!
