hey i got me a dirt bike 70r and im ready for a bigger one im a thirteen year old girl "using my dads email name"Davey. any ways should i stick with the 70 or plead him for another one and if it works what should i get

 

Even though your question sounds easy, it's very hard to answer. For example, you didn't describe your weight, height, if the 70r is currently a good body fit for you, if you've out grown its frame size, or you are looking for something with more power - for your unique riding conditions. I grew up with dirt bikes. I actually like them more then quads. When I was much younger, I had the opportunity to ride my of many buddies different dirt bikes. Both 2 stroke & 4 stroke brands. Many times we "swapped machines" just to try each other's out.

With any size of dirt bike, here's a few things to keep in mind:
- It's body size is "a must". For me, I liked sitting on the seat and on level ground and could touch the ground with my tippy toes. When I put my riding boots on, I was still on my tippy toes but its wasn't a hard stretch. This height allowed me to "grow into it".
- It's power had to be suited for my riding conditions. I loved the even power of 4-strokes but loved doing lots of mud and wheelies with a 2 stroke. If wondering, I did 3 font-back roll overs with a 2 stroke because of its quick throttle resonse. Great for mud but very danerious when doing wheelies on gravel roads. For trail riding, I liked the 4-strokes much better. Even power, less jerky throttle response and its engine / muffler was very quiet. In my old neighbourhood would often call my Honda XR75 "neighbour friendly". For motocross racing or extreme trail riding (if you have the skills to control it), I'd go with a 2 stroke model.

When purchasing dirt bikes, quads and even "riding lawn mowers", also think of quality of the product, suspension, ease of control, parts availability and "can you handle it?" considerations. On the trails while zip / zagging through trees and in the mud, bigger frame and engine isn't always better. I know many folks who have a small unit and love it. Love it because of its easy to control, can easily lift it out of the mud, and can fit between trees with ease.

As a suggestion, visit a few differnt Dirt Bike dealers in your area and "get fitted" on different brands and engine sizes. See which one "feels best" for you and your parents. While being fitted, keep in mind your possible growth spirt(s) within the next 3 years. From there, then decide if upgrading to a bigger frame or using your current 70R for 1 more year is best for you.

Hope this helps...

Thanks alot that was a lot of help i learned alot too. You must be a pro on dirt bikes. but theres one thing im wondering. i got a honda 70 r and my friend has a suzzikee(i cant spell) 80 "im not exactually sure what it is" but im sure mine is faster but hers cango up hills faster and excellerates faster. but if its a long distance race mine allways wins. i dont get it. is mine just built beter or what.

 

Whether it be quad bikes, dirt bikes or automobiles, their bottom end power vrs high end speed depends on their transmission gearing, body weight, wind resistance, engine size, carb systems, muffler systems and lots of other engine considerations. 2 stroke and 4 strokes is a big difference as well. To learn how about "power band" on your dirt bike and/or many mini-quads, read the contents within: - Press Here -

In my old days, I had the opportunity to ride many different brands, engine sizes and frame sizes. Honda, Kawis, Yamaha, Suzuki, etc. To me, I liked smaller and lighter frame dirt bikes. They were easy to handle on the trails and were great for doing donuts while bringing in the cattle from their pasture. (If you bring in the cattle at 5:00 AM on a 2-stroke with an FMF Fatty pipe, guaranteed you'll get a call from one of the neigbours). Our 4 strokes with stock mufflers were always neighbour friendly. For me, I never worried about who's was faster, who's was better looking, who's was louder, etc. To me, they were all fun to drive. Although, I always picked the smaller frame units over the tall skinny frame units myself. You may like the taller frame units better. What ever works best for you...

Hope the contents within the above URL provides you more knowledge for any Dirt Bike (and/or mini-quad) you like the best...

One factor that kinda works with dirtbikes.
If you can sit on a bike and be flat-footed( your feet flat on the ground), you may be ready to move up to the next size bike. You should also be able to handle it, but this is a good guide.

 

Make sure you can pick up the bike from the ground, as this WILL happen as you ride hills, etc.. My 8 y/o son has the XR70R. His next bike will be an XR80=clutch and 2 extra gears. You may want to look at an XR100.You'll be learning to clutch now, so 2-stroke could be scary. Also, 4-stroke you've had so far seems to have served you well, so I'd stick with one as you'll know what to expect, how it responds,etc... The Yamaha RT100 is also a good 2-stroke for your age, not too radical. The XR80's and 100's are very reliable , easy to get parts for and have good resale value when you're ready for the next upgrade. The 4-strokes last longer, and you can go slow when you need to, whereas 2-strokes like to be driven harder/faster.

I'm guessing your friend's Suzuki is a JR80, 2-stroke, injected. Suzuki also makes an RM80, but that's a competition motocross bike, and I think that would be quite a bit faster than yours, and a real loud screamer.

Good luck, let us know what you get.
