[QUOTE="2smoke, post: 60212, member: 563"] First thing first. Get what you can afford. It really doesnt matter if its a 2 stroke or 4 stroke. Both are equal when it comes to learning how operate the clutch. As for the size of bike you should get. Well your pretty big person at 6 foot 180 lbs. I say go bigger than what you think you need. Heres my reasons; Because you new to the whole operation of the clutch and your size your going to need something that is going to have a little bit more power (torque) to get the bike rolling. Once you get accustomed to operating the clutch and riding the bike you will likely gain experience quickly if your able to ride as much as you stated. With this in mind you will out grow a smaller machine rather quickly, and want a larger machine. So I say dont waste your time getting a 150 4 stroke or a 125 2stroke. A 250 F would be a great starter bike. It has lots of low end torque and can be ridden plenty fast. However for larger riders who are ready to do more ride faster etc. may find the 250 F lacking in power later on. So this is my opinion take it for what its worth to you. I have never owned a 4 stroke bikes. I learned how to ride 2 stroke bikes. If I can learn how to do it anybody can. I think the 2 stroke bike is a fine platform to learn on. Now based off what info youve given I say go 250 2 stroke. It makes plenty of power for your height and weight and when your ready to go faster and do more it will give it to you. Just remember.

Now all you have to do is decide what type bike you want find the right price range and pull the trigger and buy it. [/QUOTE]
