IS 250CC'S TOO BIG FOR ME??
 
HI, im 15 and am looking toward getting a dirtbike. i was considering an atv but found them to be too expensive. i found a kawasaki kx250 motocross dirtbike that needs a rebuild for $500. the front end is also apart but thats not a big problem. see im looking at it tommorow and cant decided weather to buy it if i like it. i have an older 175CC that weights like 15lbs more. i think the kawasaki will have a huge amount of torque though. i weigh 135lbs. and am like 5'6'' and im not sure if i will be able to handle it. im not worried about the size im more worried about the power. do you think it will have too much power for me. i want something that will not take off really fast if i just baraly tap the gas. thanks. (dont get me wrong i still want speed)[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

if it's a two stroke it's probably to big for you.
