dirt bike

[seanp1]

I know this hasn't got anything to do with novas but ithought someone on here might be able to help me.
i'm ganna buy a dirt bike and i wanna know wat the best 1 is to get.
honda cr 250
yamaha yz 250
suzuki rm 250
kawasaki kx 250

I dont know where the link is between Nova's and Dirt bikes, but anyway i would recommend the Kawasaki Kx they are great bikes, other wise i think the honda is a lovely bike.

How come you've chosen to go 4 250? From personal experience the yamaha would b a wise choice. Very powerful yet fairly easy to ride. You havent mentioned what sort of money u will b spending. A '98 model would prob set u back around ?1800 - ?2000 (rough idea).
Hope that helps.

why not go for a 4-stroke honda? They are awesome and sound it too.

[seanp1]

im going for a 250 coz all my mates av got 125's so i want mine to be faster and i hate the noise of 125's.
i dont realy want a 4 stroke coz there slower than 2 strokes.
i'v just found a kawasaki kx for a grand but its a 93 and im not sure about getting one that old coz of the amount of abuse they get.

[?Marty?]

I'd also say go for the Kawasaki KX 250.

I like bikes.

I'd go for CR250 as they would rinse all RM and KX mate YZ not to bad but there a pain in the arse engine wise :wink: The honda is nice and strong

[Jordi]

used to have a kx80 and a cr125, definately go honda or kawasaki from my experience!

[DUNOVA.]

^^^I had CR80 & CR150 :D

[Dare-devil]

Go for the Honda m8.

I have a 1999 Model YZ250..... But to be honest theres very little noticeable difference between the 4 makes! There all about as good as each other. It purely comes down to which colour you prefer :D And especially as your not going to be racing it proper and only messing about with your mates. Just go for the one that you think looks best.

thats correct they are all japenese, they are all pretty much the same engine, 2 stroke and obviously newer models are less likely to have have a hard life so it is a case of what colours to get,

i would go rm/ or kx or a 4 stroke crf 450 wicked same power as a 2 stroke 250 but more grunt

ive got a tri-z 250 2 stroke trike, basically its a yz 250 lump in a trike animal!!!!!! :D

any one got any ideas how much bhp the bikes have got and what the 0-60 and top speed iz.

more than the nova... i raced a dt 125 in a nova gsi and lost up to 90mph :o

[seanp1]

yeah i know. my mates yz 125 killed a rover coupe. think it was a 1.6

[nova m@rk]

honda mate ive had 2 cr80s a cr100 a 96 cr125 & 99 cr 125 fat frame
dont go suzuki or kawakacky they handle tereble
although ktms are fast & light but the parts are really xspensive
never really riden a yamaha properly but they do look the nutz
HONDA 8)

ive only ever had honda cr's (80 and 125) and cant complain at all about them. you will only beat a 125 round a track if ya real fcukin good at riding due to 125 being lighter and easier to throw around. can beat ma old man round track when he on his 250 even though i only got 125. obviously he beats me in a straight line but riding on track like the bikes are meant for......... I WIN!!!! :lol:

[seanp1]

i reckon im gonna get a honda cr coz i'v been looking around and they seem to but quite cheap- 98 cr 250 for ?1600 and i fink their one of the nicest looking bikes.

[nova m@rk]

you know it make's sense go honda might get me
another if me car dont clean me out too much :P

[era]

if i was u i would find out which model has the cheepest piston kit and buy that one as that will be your main expense just an idea :D

[Wayne_King]

Puch maxi all the way
