Hey guys, ive been wanting a bike forever but my parents are cheap and wont get me one but my dad claims he'll get me one in september. Well im only 14 and im 5'10, 130 pounds. Do u think a KX125 is to big for me? I have some riding skill too.

i don't know much about dirtbikes, but i do know you don't have to be too big to ride one comfortably... go for it...its' a nice bike.
You are definitely big enough for a 125. If you were heavier , id say go for a 250 . At 14 , a 125 is a nice bike to get . BTW , my first bike was a kx125 , I was about the same age as you .

Yea, ill go for the kx125, but another thing... I dont really know much about engines or ne thing like that and ppl say 2 strokes are a bitch, so should i like at 4 strokes too?
Well , 2 strokes can kinda get expensive , because you not only have to buy gas , you have to buy the mix too . You have to change the oil quite often too , but its fun doin stuff like that . Id much rather have a 2 stroke than 4 stroke . Go with the kx125

When i was 14. Being 6'0 205lbs, I rode a 95 CR250 and then sold it and then got a Banshee. All u need to know is how to ride thats all

I don't think you can get a kx 125 four stroke or can you. If not and you want a 4 strtoke I think they make a kx250 4 stroke. If your new to riding get a 4 stroke they have a smoother powerband and their easier to drive smoothly. But if you have been riding for a while then go with a 2 stroke. They can be more fun if you are a decent rider.

Nope, they dont make a 4 stroke kx125 or 250, its yamaha that has a 4 stroke YZ250. That would be the bike i would get but i cant afford it so ill just get like a 99 KX125

if ur new at ridin, dont get a 4 stroke. they wiegh a shit load.
a 125,200, 250, either one will do the trick, U just gotta know how to ride it.
Im 19 have a cr125, and i have rode a dirtbike since i was 2 1/2. Its all in how you ride it, if your like me and like the rpms high and constantly workin the clutch, then go with the 125, but if you want something where you dont have to use the clutch, or have the rpms up, then get a 200 or 250.
basicly just buy a bike and learn how to ride it, then once u understand it all, you will know what u want.
