Answer
ok well if it is your first bike get a 250 it is big enough to get you going with comfort and safe enough that if you accidentally pop the clutch it wont just flat out flip over
most 250's these days are fairly similar is size performance and shape unless you get something that is trashed
don't get anything that has done over 60,000km for bikes that is HEAPS
my first bike was a Suzuki gsx250f it has a false tank that you can hold an xxl helmet in with electronic fuel cap opener and electronic helmet opener :) Sweet tho they are fairly old
look at the disk breaks make sure they don't have too much wear as they can be expensive to replace
look for miss matched paint on the fairings but don't be way upset nearly every 250 will be dropped at one point or another lol ask the owner a heap of questions and figure out all you can off them
DONT BUY THE FIRST BIKE YOU SEE go to every bike shop around and sit on every bike because not every one will sute you

Correct Motorcycle helmet size?




Matt Smith


I was about to bid on ebay to buy my first motorcycle helmet. And I realized, I have no idea what size I am. I measured my circumference of my head with a flexible ruler and it roughly came out to be 24 inches, or 64 cm. Now this is where I got confused because in hats, I wear a size S/M. Whereas in the motorcycle chart , I'd be a size XXL ?? Wtf


Answer
Mine is right about 24", too, and I wear an XL helmet.
As uncomfortable as it may sound, you want a motorcycle helmet to fit tightly.
Quick easy check is to put it on, grab the chin area and pull it down (hold your head still).
If the helmet slides down over your eyes, it's too large.
You may not be able to try on the one you're looking at on eBay, but maybe visit a local bike shop and try on a few, then go buy the one you want in the proper size.
See the source link for an example on proper sizing.

Finally, if an XL simply feels too tight... get an XXL. Slightly too big is going to be way better than riding around getting a headache and having a red spot on your forehead all day.

What dirt bike is best for a brand new women rider - 30 yrs old - 5' 5" - 165lbs?




TINK315


I am looking for a dirt bike to ride with my boyfriend who is an experienced rider. This would really just be trail riding. It looks like my best options are a 2006 TTR 125, a 2006 TTR 230, and a 2013 Kawi KLX 140L. I am concerned that the 125 will have no power and I will out grow it, the 230 seems like it might be too much of a bike. I can't find anything in the middle in good condition. As a result, the middle bike would be the Kawi. Any advice? Please help!!!!


Answer
I'm think you have your head on the right way around with the KLX140L, it is lighter than the 230 so it will be very easy for you to get confident to ride it and will give you a lot more fun riding than the 125. Ride to your own speed, if the BF leaves you behind in his dust then get a better BF who wants to adjust his riding to your speed and do most of the riding with you. But also give him time out to show off to you how good he is too.

Being a new bike you won't have any issues for some time if you have it maintained regularly. Just do some riding in an open area till you get used to moving off, changing gear and stopping before you head off into real trail riding, don't tackle anything you feel your not capably of, but also be prepared to have a go at the areas that are a bit of a challenge. Make sure you at least wear a SNELL approved helmet, good Motox boots and gloves.
