[QUOTE="2Wheels, post: 206519, member: 3804"] [I]Usually[/I] I am with the "grow into it" idea but I see where it can be discouraging to a new rider to have too much power. I think the crf230 would help to do things trail wise that a far more capable machine would just get you to trouble. You can bang that front tire into trail trash and tractor over rocks comfortably, where a 250t is an accidental blip away from a ghostride, especially when there is unsure footing. Better to have a bike you can handle easily and quickly outgrow. I remember when my boy was 14, he had been riding since age 5 and still the full size bikes were a lot to handle even with a lot of experience. [/QUOTE]
