what kinda bikes use got and some pics i'm thinking getting a Honda CRF450 or a Kawasaki KXF450

 

had loads of bikes , i prefer 2 stroke myself

 

Go for the crf 450. It's in it's own leauge!

Put I also prefer the two stroke. There are pros and cons for both 4 stoke and 2 stroke. You can be more lazy with a 4 stroke!

 

i like the honda's but prefer the looks of the Kawasaki, im waiting for my mate to get his Honda crf 450 and see what its like. will decide what to get once I have had a shot of that.

 

I have a crf which I use for enduro



I have heard the rm is the one to go for now

 

aother one of my mates had an rm and it just broke all the time so dont think i will get one f them. nice bike u have though.

 

Really what kept breaking ?

 

loads off small things and it would never start

 

ive had a couple



CRM250

CRF450

 

I use a 2002 ktm 125sx 2 stroke

 

I ride most w.ends currently ride a yz 125, picy of the old girl below

 

just spied this one on ebay looks good aswell.

Looks good this Yamaha

 

You wont go far wrong with a Yam m8 , ive had a couple of yzf 250's an there really gd bikes very reliable...

 

i race motocross and enduro`s myself...
had alsorts of bikes but i swear by KTM! such a solid bike
and i have a 2007 250sx (two stroke)
and a factory edition 450sx 2009 (four banger)
in all honestly although four stroke have some low end torque u cant beat the mighty 2-stroke punch!!!! im sure whatever bike you have it`ll serve you a good time everyone has there own opinion but to be honest there all good in there own way! happy riding i say!!!!

 

how the hell do i add pics??? LOL

 

U will need a photobucket account or simlar then you can copy an paste the picture links onto here..

 

i think if i get a 250 2 stroke i will get bored then want a 450 thats why i am goin for the 450 four stroke. thats my reson lol

 

Had a CR80 and CR250

Got a LT500R quad at the mo

 

300 2 strokes seem to be a good balance for power and torque

 

Yams right out the box are the best woods bikes and pretty nifty for enduro

But honda is my fav

 

I had a CR80 when I was 13 for over the fields at end of road. Used to frighten the f*ck out of me

Would love another bike but have no space for one

 

its a honda cr80 i have been using recently and it wants to lift the front in every gear

 

think the questions everyone is missing are

how experienced / compotent are you on a mx bike , mx track ??

what to you plan on using the bike for ? fun , larking about on a feild , impressing the loacal scallys with wheelies ?


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 ??

 

im after a bike but after playing about with my bro inlaws yzf (that he cant start but i always can lol) i think ill get a older little stroker, ok its ok but its fucking huge and hasnt the mental give it a little and ride up a cliff feel of a 2 stroke

i wanna trade 1 of my fireblades for 1 really but bad time of the year

im after 1988 cr125 parts to restore my old beast if anyone has got any

 

ive had few dtrs a rm250 kx65 and my mates have had all sorts out of them all id say the rm or my mates yz250 are the best

 

tiddlers ar ealways more FUN
i had more fun with mates on 125's than now on my fireblade
i find a cr80 or similar is a propper fun bit of kit, it'll go anywhere and sped isnt a major factor on dirt

when bro inlaw got his yzf we did a deal on a little thumper pit bike too, its fukin ace, more fun that the yzf for what we can do atm (fields are out as the birds are bein protected to be shot DOH)

 

No the question was deffo what bikes you all got

 

yeah beacuse hes fucking THINKING of getting a crf or kxf

 

Watch if you go for one of the earlyer CRF's my friends that raced them had problems with the valves, seems to be better on the new bikes.

 

you really need to get experience on a 125 2t before you start stating you'd get bored with the power. my ktm you are up on the back wheel 1st 2nd and 3rd no problems.
Riding 2 stroke is totally different to 4stroke too.


If you rode a rm250 or ktm 250 sx 2t you'd probably kill yourself or be slower than a 4t 125 unless you have experience with mx.


theres many factors involved, depending on what class event you'll be competing in,
and then theres the maintenance side of things too.

 

correct

 

the boke wont b to b goin round track or any thing, mostly fun really. place called Oakley in scotland which is for bikes etc

 

so more blatting about at lesuire , no competitve and more like green laining than mx ?


if it was me id look into a xr 400 or drz e , plenty of grunt still have the big engine your after but more robust and eaisier to maintain ,



beef

 

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!

 

cheers mitch ,


i knew i was talking sense lol

 

the way im hearing it at the moment is peeps are getting fed up with 4 stroke rebuilds and are going back to 2 strokes.......
as for a first bike id go for a 700 maico 2 stroke.................NO,jokeing.......lol
any 250 stroker,you can plod about,they're light,easy rebuilds.....
