[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 180696, member: 1650"] There is a lot to what Miho says: Runs along with my suggestion you get a day on something along the same lines as the 230 he suggested. For the first few months a rider with the right kind of experience will be able to lead you around on the 230 anyway(no matter what race bike you buy). Since you didn't seem keen on my idea or his I can say that in two years time, whether you start on the race bike or ride the trail bike for 6 months you are going to be at about the same place. Ride on your own or with your friends who are self taught and all you will know is what you can figure out and some of what they figured out. Bad habits? You will develope a boatload of those. The funny thing is that you didn't seem to think you could handle the clutch and power of a 250 two stroke, ( I think you can adapt as I would have too) and now you don't seem to be considering the more conservative approach before dropping a bundle. Anyway, where you are in two years is going to depend a whole lot more on how good the people are that influence you, and how much training you will do. [/QUOTE]
