Seen as my thread before got deleted :S
In october il be 17 and i want to get a dirt bike (125) and a suitable one for a 17 year old, i'd like a black and grey one but depends rly, I have around 1000 pounds to spend so +rep for suggestions
Ross
A road legal one?
I have a yamaha 250. It's old-school but it's so rad. Only cost around 500 AUD
:)
I wanted one for xmas, as well as my big pink malibu- it's great.
Yep!Quote:

well u should get a road one so u can can drive on road <:]
oviously im getting a road legal bike...
Well, my Yamaha 250 is totally road worthy. I suggest going for something a little more powerful than a 125- depending on how much land you have and where you're planning to ride it (if on road, defs consider it).Quote:

im only allowed 125 when im 17 thats the road laws in UK mate.
Sorry for double post, But i found a bike i like its a little over my budget but i think its a maybe:

Does anyone know anything about thease kind of bikes?
Ross
wow really is it? never knew that ;] well goodluck finding one <:]
Did you know Ross is a closet homosexual...
er, nice bike!!
Looks like a nice bike, warranty and all which is always handy.
Again, depends what you need it for. Have you ridden many bikes before?
I've always wanted to ride on one but never got round to it :(.
I have a ped but i suppose thats nothing compared to that.
But im sure il get the hang of it?
Oh yeah, of course. It's not rocket science. The 125 rule is a bit disappointing, but I suggest you go for something cheap to start out. Do it up later maybe. It's up to you though, if you've got the money handy then go for it but choose wisely. I've, honestly, never heard of a 'pulse' but it looks nice and pretty suitable.Quote:

Haha. Yeah, I felt the same. But, seriously, it's really not hard. Easier than driving a car by a good ol' country mile.Quote:

Yeah, you wouldn't but it'd only take you 5 minutes and then you would.
Seriously, google the manuals and look at how they work, it's just clutch with hand, gear with foot. *Pull - - Click*
:D
its a dirt bike so it would all be by the fingers like semi is right?
Oh okay. Yeah, mine's not a dirt bike... so i've sort of gotten into the habit.
Either way, a young fellow like you'd do just fine.
What I'm trying to say, basically, get what you need but dont let "difficulty" stand in the way when it comes to manuals. Because, it's really not so hard
:D
well its not like you will never get the hang of it in time you will u just need to practise <:]
I think il try getting a manual if i can't get a semi, Well that bike is defently a one i love.
Thanks alot.
+rep :]
The clutch on a manual is just the same as it works on a car. Pull in, change gear, let go. :)
I dont have a car ether im 16 :]Quote:

youll hear the motor keep hearing the same sound and thats when u change gear well thats what i do <:]
You just know. Sound of the engine, speed your going. It eventually becomes second nature. It's not hard, after an hour on the bike you'll have it.
You'll find out when you do your CBT for motorbikes.Quote:

It would be a good idea to so you know how to do it. If not then good luck.Quote:
