Honda CRF 230

Wat Up,

I'm fairly new with riding, I have been out three times riding with my buddy... I have been riding a 1987 KDX 200 2 stroke, I'm hella diggin dirtbiking and my neighbor offered me his bike... It's a 2003 Honda CRF 230, about 10 hours, for $1800 and my friend said that was a bombin deal.

The only thing is, I'm 6'2" 155lbs and 17 years old....

Should I be buying a bike this soon?

Is the 230 too small, egine and size of bike (i have eard it was made for smaller riders)

I like the 2 stroke a lot, but is 4 stroke the way to go?

I'm more of a trail rider, but do some track ( I know the 230 has shit suspension for track, but is that only with heavier riders?)

If not the 230, should I go 250?

Thanks

you should get a 250f. you wi

you should get a 250f. you will not be satisfied with the crf230, its a joke of a bike. definately a lack of power. it has about 1/3 of the power of that kdx youve been riding.

its not even that good of a d

its not even that good of a deal, i picked up my 2004 rmz250 in mint condition for only $2000. check out ebay. u should check out a few more bikes because i really dont think a crf230f will work so well for u.

definetly the 250 my friend g

definetly the 250 my friend got a crf230 and hes 14 (soon15) kinda short and stubby but he says the 230 dont have much power but he can catch up with my bros 04 TTR-225 no trouble and it may be a good deal but in my opinion i would get a 250 , but if u really do have a choice and dont want to stick with the bike ur on now; RideRed!!!
