I love the way the 85 big wheels look but a 125 is more for my size and weight class
Im 5'8 172
What would be a good step up from my 90s rt100
I wanna go #teamgreen but this yamaha is my 1st bike
What should or can i do?
Any suggestions

nothing is "noob safe" in fact i will argue that you are better off jumping straight to a big bike. you learn to respect the bike a whole lot faster.

granted i was a really big boy when i started riding 5'9@250 lbs but my first bike was a 525 four stroke. people said i was nuts but just cause you have all the power dont mean you need to use it all. i never even touched what my bike could do for a long while.

If i get something bigger ima wanna be ricky bobby on a bike
Even tho its not safe ima wanna test top speeds or somethin
I went past a standing speed tracker and clocked 67mph in 5th gear and a face full of bugs and thay was just on ride home for purchase on a straight away
I would respect something newer than what i have now
I never dropped it yet but a buddy of mines already laid my nike down twice

fuck wheelies... get that thing on some trails... washington has some good riding from what i hear. you are gonna gain more skill learning how to navigate those wet roots and loose rocks over trying to wheelie in a parking lot all day.

Thats the thing tho i cant get to those sweet trails
Its a one car household right now
And thats a Chrysler 200 lol
Next idea is rent a uhaul or mingle and network with people of the same interest with a extra space
Till i get myself a truck wit a hitch

hit up the reginal section and try to find people in your area. i know there is some DBA peoples in washington... see if you cant find a meetup. I have to admit i was and am a bit spoiled in that department... there was atleast a dozen guys i met from these forums to ride with in my area.

You don't buy a boat with no water to use it in. Why would you buy a dirt bike with no way to get to dirt?
