its better to own nothing worldly and still have your identity
then have the world and no identity

How much do you weigh?

I love this dirt stuff.

All the manufacturers make good bikes, but if you're buying used you may be limitd by your budget.  Remember tho - you get what you pay for, so ask the seller lots of questions no matter which bike you get.

Go to the track a few times and talk to some of the other riders.  See what they bring with them on race day.

"If you don't have a dream, how can it come true?"

The two with the strongest engines are the CRF250R and KTM 250SXF. If you get a CRF, the 07 and up has much better valves that dont wear near as fast. The YZ250F has a really strong top end, but not quite as much bottom end as the CRF and KTM. Where are you from?
