You can get some reasonable used motorcycles in that price range, especially if you wait until October or November.

dirt bike for a 13 year old girl?

Q. i only know a little about them and i really want to ride them. my parents had them when they where younger and at my dads cousins house they have a track because he races. i don't want something slow and i don't want anything super fast just something in the middle. im about 5`2 if that helps at all. could you tell me the basics of riding and what do you think would fit me best by the way it would probably be used from craigslist and under 1000 i was looking at like something from 1997 or up but i wouldn't really trust one that old. also what gear would i need.

Answer
Since you have never had a dirtbike, I HIGHLY recommend you stay away from 2-strokes...they are cheaper in price...but they are harder to learn on and more difficult to get the hang of. You are one inch shorter than me...I am 5'3 and I ride a crf150rb. There are two types of 150's...the race and the trail. I'm not sure which kind of bike you are looking for to start on, or if you are even wanting to race. This bike is not cheap...but you can find them used and they are amazing to start on. The crf150f is the trail version, it will have an electric start and not be as fast as the race bike. It will also have a smaller price tag. The crf150r or rb ( note that they are the same bike...the rb is just a little taller...) is a race bike. It is a pretty fast bike, but since it is a 4-stroke it does not demand being on the powerband 24/7 making it also a pretty good bike to learn on. These bikes are also excellent for your size. The bike first came out in 06 for the race version, and I'm not sure about how far back the trail version of the bikes goes.
Besides the bike, you will need some riding boots. Try some Thor Women's or Fox Comp 5 boots.
You will need a helmet. Any major mx manufactuer makes a wide variety of helmets.
You will need mx gear ( pants and jersey, gloves, googles.) You can pick whatever brand you like best for these items. There is Fox, Thor, One Industries, Answer, O'Neal, MSR, etc.
Have fun girl! Welcome to the dirtbike world! Hope you enjoy whatever you decide to get!

Which yamaha dual sport bike is better?

best electric bikes for 2011 image

Vertigo

I was looking the 2011 WR250X, the 2011 WR250R and the 2012 TW200. I prefer the TW2000 cause is cheaper and dont know it looks nice. But i will like to know the pros and cons of each one, nore concentrated in the TW200. Thanks

Answer
Rule out the wr250x as its street tires will not be good off road.

The wr250r is a dual sport, powerful for a 250 and tall, so you will want to sit on one and see if it fits. While it won't be too comfortable on a highway it is fast enough for one. It would be a good off road bike based on the power and tires.

The TW200 has been sold for years so its easy to find one used, though I think very early models had kick starting only, so check the one you are looking at has electric start. It will be about half the price of the 250, less if you are buying used. Its 200cc engine is not very powerful, so it will not be fast enough for highway driving (top speed is around 60mph). It will be ok on easy trails, but a bit underpowered on anything with steep hills. If it doesn't matter to you about the higher speed and power of the 250, or the 250 is too tall, then I think the TW200 would be a good in town and trail bike, and fine for country riding, and will get really good gas mileage.

do you think the electric vehicle leasing scheme in hong kong will facilitate the use of electric vehicles?

Answer
You obviously are responding to a bit of news. It would be best to cite an article or other reference when asking a question like this. What I could find was this article form 2010 that referred to a leasing scheme in Hong Kong as an attempt to combat air pollution in one of the most traffic congested cities in the world. http://blogs.wsj.com/hong-kong/2011/01/31/why-electric-cars-arent-selling/

While electric vehicles should help with pollution issues it might be best to consider the traffic issues as well and then determine that the best EV would be one that is either computer controlled, part of a public transit system, or both.

In addition while the EV will reduce pollution, the gains will not be as great as possible where industry and residences rely upon coal fired power plants, the predominant electric producing facility in China.

China has also already embraced another electric vehicle solution: ebikes. http://www.fastcoexist.com/1681004/electric-bikes-have-invaded-china-is-the-us-next#1 with now more than 120 million on the roads. Because it is smaller, lighter more of them can fit on to a roadway, they are cheaper to own and to operate. Ebikes as an electric vehicle are already a success in China.
