Recommend me bike?

[JAMSXR]

This weekend my Brothers friend took me and my Bro to a private sand quarry just outside Guildford. He has a 250 SX and a YZ250, we were just using the latter as my brothers friend thought it would be better for a couple of beginners.

So following a long weekend of muddy fun my Bro is now tempted to get a bike, now I just need to use my powers of persuasion to push him off the fence! His friend has recommended we get a 2t as engine maintenance is more tricky on the 4 strokes. Personally after having a go on his 250 SX I would love my bro to go for a single but I'm no expert, so thought I would ask the BCF crew their opinions on the matter?

Thanks

250SX is available in 2 stroke and 4 stroke.
The only multi-cylinder dirt bike in common use is the rather expensive Aprilia.
I would personally go for a 250 or 300cc 2 stroke enduro bike. These generally have a more friendly power delivery than the 2 stroke motocross bikes, are still easy to use and don't weigh much more than the motocross bikes - about the same as a 4 stroke 'crosser.
A lot less hassle to get them road-registered and a lot come registered already.

They will all be singles, just may be 2 or 4 stroke singles.
You probably rode a YZ250F, which is a four stroke 250 that tends to race with 125cc 2 strokes (now upped capacity to 150cc in some places.)
A 2 stroke 250 (which the SX probably was) is a much more agressive machine. As I say, the enduro version (250 EXC) has a much more linear and less-scary power delivery, though will still give a very good 'kick' if you do make use of the throttle .

if you pay more for an enduro you will get that money back when you sell and i think they will cost less to run thats just my opinion
