Dirt bike question?!?




Amanda


I was wondering if anyone experienced in dirt bikes could help me out.

I am looking to buy a dirt bike but im not sure what one I should get.
I mostly want the back for track riding and not for trail riding. I am a female 5'1 and 100 pounds. I do not want to get a beginners bike but would rather have one I can keep for years to come. I do have a small amount of experience in riding. I was looking more towards a Yamaha but any brand could work.
I want a fast back with a good amount of power. Any help would be much appreciated.
Oh and im 19 almost 20 if that makes any difference.
What about something like a YZ 250F or YZ 250?? Not sure whats better though 2-stroke or 4.



Answer
The seat height on the YZ 125s and 250s will be too much for you. They are almost 40 inches. You will never be able to touch the ground. The ideal situation is sit on the seat and at least be able to touch your toes to the ground on both sides.

Check out the 2013 TTR125 LE 34" seat height, front disc brake, 4 stroke and electric start. Probably would work good for you.

What's better A Yamaha 2013 TT-R230 vs a Honda CRF-230f?

If any of you dirt bike guys have rid these 2 bikes if you can tell me whats better in the long run. here are there specs


Honda CRF-230F

Dependable 223 cc single-cylinder air-cooled four-stroke engine offers plenty of user-friendly power and torque spread over a wide rpm range.

28 mm carburetor for crisp throttle response.
Electric starter for ease of starting.
Lightweight aluminum crankcase.
Maintenance-free CD ignition.
Heavy-duty clutch offers smooth, progressive engagement.
Smooth-shifting and versatile six-speed transmission.
Heavy-duty O-ring-sealed chain for durability and reduced maintenance.

Yamaha 2013 TT-R230

Peppy, air-cooled, 223cc, SOHC, 2-valve, 4-stroke powerplant produces predictable power aimed at easing both beginner and intermediate riders into the fun and excitement of off-road riding.
Convenient, dependable electric starter ensures hassle-free, push-button starting.
CD ignition system is ultra-reliable and never needs maintenance.
Automatic cam chain tensioner reduces maintenance and mechanical noise and extends engine life.
Teikei Y26P carburetor provides crisp throttle response while also providing excellent fuel economy. The carb features "electroless" nickel plating on the valve seat and a stainless steel needle valve screw to off set the effects of E10 fuel (10% ethanol fuel).
WR-style washable foam air filter provides improved engine performance, excellent filtering function and easy serviceability. Since the foam filter is washable, it reduces tune-up costs too.
Smooth shifting, manual, 6-speed, close ratio transmission features optimized gear ratios for maximum off road fun and versatility.
Lightweight, upswept exhaust system features a screen-type spark arrestor like those found on the WR series. This style of spark arrestor can be cleaned, thereby reducing tune-up costs. There are heat shields to protect the rider.

Thank you!

Answer
Both are fun little bikes and if taken care of, maintenance-wise, both will be fun little bikes for a long time.
Over the years I've found that while Yamaha brand is a bit cheaper to buy into their maintenance is a little higher, not so much as the cost per part but that they just wear a tad faster.

Go have fun on either.
