first off , im not a kid asking what the top speed of a yz 85 is and if a banshee can beat a raptor. i know my stuff pretty well. well anyway, i just got an 04' kx 100. i had bought it used for $2300. the crankshaft went out 2 days ago, and well i was pretty pissed, considering i just got the bike a month back. and ive been doing some thinking. hard thinking, and decided to fix it, sell it, and getting a 4 stroker. i basically want a very powerful one, considering i have to keep up with my friends bambi and a 250. but the problem is im only about 5 foot and 14 years of age, therefor, i cant fit anything. my friend with the banshee considered a crf 230, but i know thats a little under-powerd. or a 1990 or 89 cr500, wich, i know is not a 2 stroke, but the reliability is still very good. thats why i kinda want a 4 stroke, so i dont have to do a top end every month. I would deffinetly take the 500 but i feel that though its an early model bike, it is still too tall for me. i dont know for sure how tall they are but i have a feeling they are still too tall. can any of u guys tell me how tall one is or have a suggestion of what to get? your help is appriciated.
hyey
if i were u id fix the bike then sell it. man u say u want a cr 500 WOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! how much experience u got!! i think ur right wen u say the 230 is under powered, u also say u want a 4 stroke, if u wanna show ur 4 wheeler buddies wat fast is id get a crf250r , 125's are awesome to they'll snap u around the mx track like nottin there great! just do watever u want to do buy the bike u feel most comfortable on.

well i have ridden fast bikes
well i have ridden fast bikes. my dad has a kx 250 and i can handle it pretty well. I ride it all the time. but also note that we always ride in open deserts, not mx tracks. Im basically looking for something that is cheap, reliable, and will scare the shit out of me. I like 125' s alot because they will rev and rev, but they arent too reliable. not as much as a 500 anyway. my dad knows alot about bikes. he has about 15 in his life and has rode since 10 years old. he has graduated from mmi. But i live with a friend and dont speak to him or ride with him often, so i havent mentioned a 500 yet to him. He knows i can handle one, but he also knows it can kick my ass if im not careful.
i have a 04' crf 250r and i l
i have a 04' crf 250r and i love it. it has tons of power through the ranges but if ur only 5 ft its goin to be big. when i first got it i was about 5'11 and it was a little big. my friend has a crf230 and i rode it and i dont like it at all. it weighs like 240 pounds and doesnt have enough power to move all that weight around to good. its a good begginers bike but i think u wouldnt like it since u came off from a 2 stroke. u might want to look into the crf250x the offroad model. i dont know how high the seat height is but its something to look into.
Scars mean nothing without a sweet story.
'04 CRF 250r
aw
aww well if its open area u ride in get the 500 cause if ur in a woods or something ur allways up of the seat trying to keep ur balance and speed but u got to think bout it starting the 500 would be very hard cos of the Compression like a lad i know had a xr350 a 89 one and i mean u would want a good leg to kick it his leg i in a very bad way now from kickin it he has to park the bike beside a tree and hop up on the kickstart and put all his weight on it its quite funny to watch lol
mhmmm
okay then since ur gonna be riding in open deserts and u already kno how to ride a kx250 just get a 250 there great in the sand . buy a sand paddle tire and ur set, believe me that'll scare the shit outa u
i agree
i agree get the 250 it would be so much fun with one of them in the sand wiping it around the place **the toughts :) **
