I race motocross and ride a Kawasaki KX250. This is a large 2-stroke dirt bike. Most guys now, ride 250 4-strokes, they are a little under half the power of the bike I ride and do not have the quick pick up and temperamental riding style of my bike. Four strokes are more stable and 'tractory'. Oh, I am a 41 year old woman, not a guy, as you can see from my avatar. I earned my way up to my KX and love it amazingly!!!! I started riding on a cr80 about 7 years ago. I love riding, jumping table tops etc., enduro riding and level 8 trails. Someday, they are going to have to pry my arthritic old hands off my handlebars and retire me.....but not anytime soon!!!
