Hi folks,
My father in law wants to buy a dirt bike for his son. The boy is 13, but not very big, and has no experience. They are looking for a 125cc give or take and don't want to spend much. I keep hearing different stuff from people about the rules for tracks around denver, so I thought I'd ask the experts.
Do the local tracks and trails allow 2 strokes? This dude I work with tells me you pretty much can't ride a 2 stroke anywhere in CO????
They looked at a 2, but were put off by "all that smoke coming out of the pipe". I don't know how bad it was, but it's making them lean towards 4 stroke. They seem to understand the differences between 4's and 2's.
Trouble is, all the cheap dirt bikes seem to be 2's. Hell, I don't know, I grew up on dirt bikes, but that was a lot of years ago. I think the DR series from Suzuki were 4 strokes, and maybe the KLX?
I'm going out to look with them on Sat. If anyone has any suggestions of decent older 4 strokers under $1000 I'd love to hear them. Anyone got something they want to unload?
Thanks for lookin'!
