I always fancied motocross bike for myself to ride on day to day… However as I know next to nothing about motorbikes. Do they make good bike for normal use (going to work etc?).

I’m thinking about one of those, as I’m assuming they are quiet light weight (I’m female, average high) and I’ve seen one or road seem to be very ‘short’ as well, which would be better for me…

No idea about their performance etc.. Are they very ‘revy’? (Not sure how to spell that).

mmm.. when you say motocross bike im thinking 2 stroke beasts? 2 strokes like to rev & hit power bands easly not really for the easly scared people!

4 strokes well completely different bikes, not really scary power until you jump on a 400cc <<< in my opinon! you can just goto a pump & put petrol in no mixing oil etc, & they are far more reliable than proper Mx bikes like kx, cr, rm, yz

in other hands theres bikes like dt125, kmx125, kdx125 but i dont know how tall you are


Best to look on ebay under enduro/supermoto road legal for an idea what you want Thumbs Up

What is the difference between Enduro and Supermoto? From pictures I can see that Enduro are more for off road and Supermoto more for road use?

I had a look and start to fall in love...

This one is just beautiful, heavier than my current bike though...

Also they look quiet tall, I'm only 163cm which is about 5.3 feet. I'm starting to worry if I would be able to actually touch the ground from one of those, not mention anything else Rolling Eyes

You're not supposed to be able to touch the ground on a supermoto! Laughing

When I rode my mate's KTM Duke 2, I had to get on it with the side stand down, right foot on peg, left foot tip-toeing down, then put it in gear, bring left foot up kicking up the stand on the way, and off you go!

Oh, I'm 5' 1" with short legs, btw.
