Answer
most pit bikes have 4 gears....

some of the descriptions on the power, exhaust, suspension, wheels are a bit weird.

like no manufacture would say the power is "Wheelies in 2nd and 3rd gear!!" unless there a joke.

but this does sound kinda legit but it does depend on the price$.

if it is under $1000 i would say that is okay. if its over that dont bother, go on ebay.


by the way pit bikes can get a bit boaring after a while. i suggest get a motocross bike.

BEST DIRT BIKE FOR A GIRL.. HELP!!!!?

starryblue

I WOULD LIKE TO START GETTING INTO DIRT BIKE RIDING.. MY BOYFRIEND HAS A STREET BIKE (2011 ZX-14) AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE RIDING ON THE BACK, BUT I FEEL A STREET BIKE IS A LITTLE TOO DANGEROUS FOR ME, AND MY DAD WOULD KILL ME IF I BROUGHT ONE HOME. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO TRY DIRT BIKE RIDING INSTEAD. I HAVE BEEN ON ONE BEFORE BUT I OBVIOUSLY STILL CONSIDER MYSELF A NEWBIE RIDER. I AM 20 YEARS OLD, ABOUT 5'4 AND WEIGH 111 POUNDS. JUST WONDERING WHAT THE BEST DIRT BIKE FOR ME WOULD BE CONSIDERING MY RIDING EXPERIENCE AND WEIGHT/HEIGHT.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR HELPING OUT! MEANS A LOT!

Answer
My personal thought would be to go with a Yamaha TTR125le. My younger brother had that bike when he was about your size. It is very manageable with weight, and it has an electric start so you don't have to waist your time kicking all day. If you are looking for a little bigger big then i would go for a Honda crf 150F basically the same as the yamaha but is a little big and has a bit more power. but before buying any dirt bike, I would go to your local motorcycle dealer and sit on and test the weight of any bike before you buy it.
Happy Riding
