Best Off-Roader for a newbie.

[acydbyrn]

AS the subject says really!

I dont want to drop loads of cash on one, just something I can try my hand on. Never been off road before (except to cross into the garage) and fancy ago at it.

Of course one of you lovely forum members could offer me ago of yours

What sort of offroading? MX? Greenlaning?

[acydbyrn]

ripping round a dirt track with adrenaline coursing thru my veins!

As far as I was concerned there was trials riding (ie bikes with no seats) and dirt track racing...like jeremy mcgrath

My knowledge on this suject is BASIC! Sorry

[Welshd1k]

well dirt track as in a actual set out track . or ridign on dirt roads etc ( green lanes)


all down to what you intend to do i think dirt bike aroudn a set track & jumps etc is more 2 stroke crosserr style bikes, and the green lanning is more 4 stroke low down poke and slower speed stability, trial riding is just fun can use trials bikes for green lanning just not comfy


the pro's will be along soon with bikes etc

for lanning xr250 ?? moto cross dtr125(if it needs to be road legall ?? or the yz125 or a 250 ??

dunno tbh lol

i would say any 125/200cc 2 stoke like DT, RM, YZ, KX, - if you want a real rush when your riding then 2 stoke is for you but the bikes tend to be more high maintenance.

Go for somthing common like a DTR because parts will be cheap and easy to find.
When you looking for bikes make sure to look really hard on eBay, bike exchange, piston heads ect every few days because you can get some really good deals and save £££
