For a beginner starting you really can’t go wrong with a 250f, modern four strokes are jump on and ride. Die hard 2 strokers will throw out scare stories but new bikes are bulletproof, just follow a sensible oil and filter change routine and you’re good to go. You will ride faster for longer on a 4t, 2t can be fun, but you’ll work for it.

Well, in my experience 4 strokes tend to be easier to ride. That said, you tend to develop better skills if you hone them on a 2 stroke first. As far as the mechanical side, 2 stroke is definitely going to be easier to work on, by nature of it having less moving parts. But if you take your time one isn’t all that much harder than the other.

9/28/2018 1:13pm Cheers for the reply! So what would you say a beginner to start with? Don’t want to be jumping into the deep end right away ? I’m guessing on your 2T there’s less to change and the 4T more but your getting “ longer life “ if that would be the right way to say it

9/28/2018 11:53am More just trials like a quarry then the odd mx tracks and more towards 2T
Will you be racing? It is easier to go faster on a 4T, which will cost more to fix when it becomes necessary. 2 T's are typically more fun to ride and easier/cheaper to fix, but harder to go as fast on. Depends on what type of riding you want to do.

9/27/2018 12:07pm I have to agree... I just see it as... I don’t drink , smoke , do drugs... so I’d rather spalsh money on something that I’m going to love and I’ll see if I can attach the photo... it’s a mix between under $1000 to around 2-3000 ..... I’m seeing some of these big 450s going cheaper than these 250s...

9/27/2018 11:43am Cheers pkiczuk will have a look! And would this be decent to handle myself? Like rebuilding it all? So would you get a “ cheaper “ bike and just rebuild it all? Jeeze this is going to be more expensive than I thought ?

9/26/2018 1:55pm Thank you very much! I’m seeing stuff like 2008-2010 kx250s for around I’d guess $3000 ? What stuff would you suggest looking at inspecting to see if the bike is in good nick? Also.. seen a lot about bikes needing too end rebuilds after so many hours... is this true? Doesn’t seem like your use it long before your spending...
