Recommend me a dirt bike

[IanAl]

I am looking to get into motocross and need to gain experience but at the same time want a bike that, if I hang onto it, will be competitive when I have honed my riding skills. I was thinking Kawasaki KX250 but being a novice I would really appreciate input from more experienced riders

Thanks in advance

kx250 would be a good starter bike becuase you wont get bored of it too quick i have my ktm 125 exc wich is my road bike aswell as my track day fun and its sweet ! or you could go for the 4 stroke option and get somthing like a kx250f if you like 4 strokers.

The kx250 is sweet, watch it though - it will easily lift the front with 15 stone when on the pipe!
