Is a Honda CRF150r motocross bike good for a 13 yr old who is 6ft tall and weighs 110 pounds?

Answer 1

A YZ250F may be a little too tall and too heavy for a 13-yr. old. If you're serious about developing skills, the better choice would be a 125cc two-stroke MX bike. The reason is that the four-stroke (YZ250F) is too easy to learn bad habits such as sitting down when you should be standing up, using engine braking instead of wheel braking, and not using the clutch properly. The two-stroke (YZ125) demands to be ridden aggressively and skillfully. If you're not in the right gear, the engine falls flat. If you don't use the clutch, the engine dies. It also teaches you the importance of maintaining corner speed. Even if you don't intend to race, the two-stroke is 35-40lbs. lighter than the four-stroke. That's a big difference, especially for someone your size and age. If you think that the maintainence on a four-stroke is less, you're wrong. If you are just going to trail ride, the best choice would be something like the Honda 230F. It's much lighter than the 250F, has electric start, is much better suited to trail ridiing (suspension settings, quicker steering, etc.), and it's an air-cooled four-stroke (less maintainence). It also costs less. Again, it's all about what you're going to do with it and/or how good you want to get. The 125 two-stroke is the best learning tool, but only if you're serious. The 230F is a great playbike, but it is a little underpowered. The 250F looks good in the truck, but it's just too big and heavy for you now. Honda 150r (the big wheel version) 4 strokes dominate 2 strokes. It's an excellent bike and I strongly recommend it. Answer im 14 an i got my yz250f at 13 at only 5'5 an i weigh 132 i had lil truble at first but i race it fine now. i also have a yz85. so im saying if u no how to ride well u should b ok cuz ur 2 inches taller then me lol. a 250f is way to tall for you if you are just 5' 7". i would recomend either a honda crf 150 but i would just wait a little longer until your 5' 9" and get yz/cr 125. the YZ series owns over a four stroke 150, also its the same frame size as a yfz 250 but ways alot less. im 14 and got a yz 125 when i was 13 at about 5' 8.5" DO NOT GET ONE UNTIL YOUR AT LEAST 5' 9". my buddy was 5' 8.5" at 12 and was racing a cr125 and landed a jump wrong we wasnt big enough for his bike, long story short he broke his whole shoulder left arm and 1 rib. Haha your friend must be a goon.I ride a250 4 stroke and a 250 2 stroke. I am 5' 6" and weigh 165. You can ride at any height its just skill.
