I was gonna buy a 1000$ Apple computer then I was like I don’t wanna stay inside all day so I’m just deciding to buy a dirt bike
1000$ apple computers are terrible anyways use that money to build or buy a PC instead
Not rlly, depends what your looking for. If he lookn for a portable laptop for work then apple would be a good choice. But building a pc would be better for gaming@@iambeepbop2452
It will be the best decision of your life

Me and my dad looking for dirt bikes:
Me: I want some 125
My dad: *looking at yamaha wr400f*
This looks good
hut pohteta 💀
Lmao do it! You won't regret it! Hahaha my first bike was a wr400f!! Haha its awesome
HAHAHAH facts tho
@Austin The Amtrak Fan thats what my dad says about everything hahha, from clothes to- yeah, dirt bikes
i grew up on quads and my dad threw me on a 1993 yz250 so i'd learn what power is and not to get stupid 😂
Started out with a 07 yz125
Just got a 2019 husqvarna tc 125
Jester GT nice!
The 125 bikes are the best
Jester GT good for you not me lol I’m with 230
on march 8th, i picked up my first bike, and i mean first ever bike. 09 yz125.
2019 husqvarna tc 125
I'm gonna buy a dirt bike soon and I'm a beginner so thank you so much for the vid👌👍
Franco Garcia we are so glad we could help!
You should buy a cr500
Ocenzx best way for beginner🤟🏻
Definitely go with something you can stand over flat-footed. You will feel way more confident like the video said. I like my bikes a little smaller, they are lighter, I can toss them around, and pickup easier when I crash (yes you are going to crash about every time you go trail riding, something will happen unexpectedly or some puddle or rut will throw you and I've been riding 20 years). A smaller bike is just more fun I think too! A 110/125/150 is plenty of power
Ocenzx lol
Love your videos!! Picked up a 2019 TTR-230 a month ago and have been applying the techniques you guys show in yer vids. Very well done! Thank you. Keep it up!
My first and only was a 150cc bike and it’s been awesome. Perfect mix of easy riding and power for me.
Great info for those who are starting out. Knowing what to look for is a very important step in the learning process for new riders so they can stay as healthy as possible and still have fun while learning to ride!! Injuries while riding, especially younger kids and adults, usually leads to the rider not wanting to get back on the bike because they get scared!! Good info brother...
If your going to ride your going to have to except that somewhere your going to fall. If you can't except that then stay off of them.
Tbh i Just want a dirt bike cuz they look cool
I was thinking about getting a klx140
I'm always a fan of budget based videos. Bikes are expensive and that cost keeps people out of the sport. Content like this is what grows the sport. Not 20,000 custom bikes that no one can afford. Keep it up.
I love your videos! Your channel is my go to for advice. Used to ride when I was a kid and missed it, so I went and bought myself a brand new (electric start! what a luxury!) dirt bike and having so much fun.
I started on a 2015 ttr125 like the one in the video. I rode that for about a year and got really good at it. About two weeks ago I upgraded to a yz250f and I couldn’t be happier with my choices.
Even as someone who’s been riding for a longtime, I just can’t part with the family TTR125
I've had my titter for 3 years. Still more comfortable riding that than my honda 150r
Ive been on one for 2 years but want a 2 stroke
Snoochie Boochies I stared on a 250 2 stroke it was definitely the right choice
I can’t part from my crf125f
@@gargava9533 same! I’m in a pinch
Keep up the work guys we can all see your putting in more and more effort on every video and the results will pay off
Love the videos bro. I'm not the most patient teacher so these videos really help my young daughters & I. They want to race and I've never raced I've always been a trial rider so the videos are super helpful. I let your videos be the ones to tell them first you have to get the fundamentals & techniques down lol.. great videos thanks alot
This video actually helped me out a lot because I just started riding and got a lot better because of this video. Thank you so much and I hope your channel gets the best.
An 87 kx125 :-) as a 13 year old lad at the time, this thing ripped & was so exiting to ride 👍
smokin' joe that’s awesome !
smokin' joe do you recommend me to buy that one?
@@shotsbylalo5808 Kawasaki's have good strong engines I've owned a 90 KMX 125 and had it years never bought anything other than petrol oil and chain and sprockets, I now own a KX 250f 2017 and touch wood had no problems yet, so long answer short yeah they're good bikes as long as you don't buy a clapt out one. My advice if you're not too hot on mechanics take someone who is.
This video is solid. Although i do already have a Husqvarna tc 250 i can see how this could help beginner rider. Keep up the good work!! 👌
Thanks guys! Thanks for taking the time to make the videos and teach us the basics it was really helpful
This was the first video i watched and it gave me a lot of insight to buy my first bike. Thanks a ton!
Great job guys. Keep up the good videos! My first bike was a 1986 XR80 as a 10 year old. Many years later, riding a KTM 250 EXC. My kids are starting on a PW50. Their next bike is probably a CRF110.
I just started riding and bought a crf150r, already ate shit twice but it’s so fun haha
Quan Uens i am thinking about buying that bike, do you think it would be good for a 14 year old thats about 5ft3? And is it easy to ride on rocky/dirt terrain?
Yee Yee just replying for if anyone knows
Yee Yee i think we the same person
4 Your Eyes Only haha lol
Yee Yee I am 12, 5 foot 3 and I fit perfect on a CRF125F Big Wheel, I would honestly go with a 125 for your height because a 150 is more expensive and a 125 can push out around the same speed.
I'm really enjoying your videos, I've only been riding about three weeks and just bought my first bike ( 2015 TTR 230 for $1500 ) and I absolutely love it!!!
This video was posted on my birthday but I didn't know about this channel but her I am now watching this video because I love this channel!
I already watched this I found myself rewatching it
Great video! Another reason if you're new to the sport to buy one of these...maintenance/repairs. These air cooled Yamahas and Hondas are pretty bulletproof compared to a liquid cooled trail bike (250x-WR250) that needs to have valves shimmed etc.
Y’all are legit. Great advice for anyone considering get into the sport. Cheers!
Hey man it’s been 4 years and I learned a lot thanks! ❤
The TTR125 is an excellent bike to learn on, they even make a an "L" version that has larger wheels and can support a slightly taller rider comfortably. I have a video on my channel about my first impression of my TTR125L when I got it. Its probably the funnest bike I have to just jump on and ride around the farm, it always runs, responds well to upgrades, and they are cheap!
Thanks bro for the info
Bought a TTR230 when I started riding last year. The key is to get a great deal on a used one because after about 6 months I was ready to upgrade and I was able to sell the ttr for what I paid. Great vid tho and highly recommend one of these entry level trail bikes.
You have noooooo idea how helpful this is. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Started on a 2 stroke clutchless Honda 50 when I was a little kid, loved every second of it.
A Honda is 50 is a 4 stroke
I did not follow any advice and went straight to a 450. Probably regret it once I start riding more.
your fine just get a feel for the clutch and remember to respect the bike or it'll bite back
My uncle went out and bought a 450, he rode a few quads when he was younger but not dirtbikes. He sold it about a year later.
Just respect it man
You ever jump out a plane with no parachute? Well try getting thrown off a 450cc lol. She’s gonna look real nice in your garage when you don’t wanna ride it anymore
Same man
This is actually one of the best videos I have found for considering trail bikes. Having an adult rider get on the CRF125 gives you perspective on the height. So many of these videos are only showing kids on the bikes. Thanks a lot. Great work.
Should definitely keep in mind this guy isn’t very tall I’m 6-6”1which is nothing crazy but he would look like a kid riding it compared to me riding it. So if you’re a little bit taller ide go for a bigger bike.
@@landenlove3051 How tall are you? I wonder because 6'1 which is 180-185 for Europeans is quite tall 😅
@@leandracohen4047 I’m 6”1
Such a great video
I started on a TTR125 and then 6 months later moved on to the TTR230 which is awesome for me and will be the bike I stay with.
My first bike was a customized KX 125. I loved that bike.
you can look into Kawasaki KLX140G as well (must have that "G" in the end otherwise its smaller than a standard bike!). Its 218lb which is very light (TTR230 is 242 lb)
I have never rode and am looking for a good bike so this helped
Just about to start my journey. Great and helpful info. Very simple n quick. Great vid man. Cheers
My daughter has been the catapult to get me back into so many recreation activities; Hunting, Fishing and now she's interested in Off-Road Moto x
I litterly love your videos I get happy when I get to see that you uploaded. I have always wanted a dirt bike since i was 7 and now I’m 13 and I can’t get one because of money issues or financial problems I don’t really care what type it is it could be the worst but I would still ride it because I just want to have fun and my dream is to ride dirt bikes and pit bikes. My dream pit bike is the crf110f but I know for sure I will never have that in my hands even. Especially when I can’t even buy a 500-600 dollar dirtbike like the Tao Tao or Apollo. I love looking at dirt and pit bikes they make me feel like one day I will get one. My dad can’t buy me one because he has bills and not only that we are in a bad situation right now. But who cares about what I got to say you make the best content and I love when you get a new dirt bike because it makes me feel like when I finally be able to work in 3 more years I will finally get a 600 dollar dirt bike. I know that my dream won’t come true about the crf110f. But that’s ok. Keep up the work you put in these videos. Have a good day.
Brought tears to my eyes. Best of luck to you bro.
My first bike was crf 230 after having learned in a ktm 450 at age of 13. Saludos desde 🇨🇱🤙🏻
Wena hermano quiero empezar y estoy viendo caleta de videos
Really insightful and informative. Appreciate it! Thank you!
I'm 21 years old and rode my first quad couple weekends ago. Fell in love and been constantly looking at dirt bike videos! This was very informative keep up the great videos!
one thing no one told me turning a big dirtbike is sooo much harder to sharp turn than a quad so def ride a friend's b4 you shop!
@@IsaacLX3 It’s something you can learn and become good at. What this guy is saying is a smaller bike with less power is easier to learn on. And that is right. Don’t start on a 450 4T or a 250 2T.
Subbed a long time ago Amigo - Love your stuff !
OBI- WAN thanks for the support! We appreciate it
Just started riding last week loving it and love these videos you got my sub for sure 😎😎😎
i've been riding a crf110f for 1 year and need a crf125f so thank you for this vid and i will so my mam and dad
my 6'8" ass cant find a lot but your video really helped out
Y’all a vids are great 👍🏻 keep them up !
Tanner Mcallister thank you for the support tanner!
I’m a total noob so I appreciate these videos! Thx guys 🤙
This the first time I actually hit subscribe when someone asked me to. Love the channel, thanks for the knowledge and content❤️🇸🇪
I've ridden an assortment of bikes, and I highly suggest a Yamaha RT180 2 stroke as the perfect beginner bike. Super underrated and lesser known trail bike that dominates but is very manageable. 6 speed transmission too!
How much does it cost
The auto captions on this video are WILD
Glendowie Naples 💀💀 what does that even MEAN
Thanks for the info. You make this sport very approachable.
Great video! Enjoyed it thoroughly! Keep up the good content!
I’m 14 and 5’8 in height, and started with a Honda 2001 cr125. I stood on tippy toes on the bike. I hit doubles on my local track and could ride a quarter block wheelie. Point is, this stuff matter that he’s saying, but JUST FCKING SEND IT
Were you 5’8 when you got the bike? I’m 14 and 5’8 as well and I’m trying to decide how big of a bike to get
@@lukehallett5644 I’m 15 now and have a 2013 KTM 450. But yes I was 14 when I first had got the bike and it worked well for me. Definitely a good starter bike. I’d recommend a 2005-2010 125 2 stroke or 250 4 stroke. It’s gonna be bigger but you’ll grow into the bike before u know it. Some people will say get something smaller but this is just my opinion.
I'm 5'2" and bought an 07 Crf 80. Great little starter bike.
I'm 4'9" and bought a honda crf150r expert for my first clutch and I'm doin great lol surprised I havent died yet
@@1fiddysquiddy386 4"9?
How old are u?
I'm 6'2 when I'm 15 lol.
This really helped going to get a dirt bike next month for my birthday this really helped for what to look for 🤘🏼
This is awesome! Thank you for this information it helped me so much making my decision!
I have a 2019 Honda crf230f and it is a great trail bike for me
It’s not as fast as I want it but it’s still a good bike
I would love to have a cr125 but I don’t think I could handle it
an older bike like that will have a pretty mean powerband if you haven't had a 2 stroke before, and its gonna take some getting used to. The 06 and 07's are practically built proof, and I'd say once you can comfortably wring the 230s neck or ride pretty hard, you'll be more than ready for the upgrade!
A CRF230F has about 16-18 horsepower while a CR125 has about 40 horsepower. It also depends on how long you have ridden.
@Super Wils Gaming that is not true man, it's a 2 stroke, witch makes it a much bigger challenge, I myself ride a cr 125 and I can tell you first hand that it is more unweildy than a 250 4 stroke as far as constant speed.
David B.
Max speed on a 230f is roughly in the 65-75 range but mostly depends on weight of rider and overall body shape. Mostly down to drag and aerodynamics
Im scared off 2 strokes it shakes to muuch on fast speeds and handles too light
I started and still use an KX85 2019 and it's good
Double V my neighbor rides a 07 kx85. He is probably the best rider out of all of us considering he is the only one with a two stroke, and never wrecked on it
Great vid, very informative
I rode quads my whole life so I decided to get a dirt bike to learn something different. I currently have a kx 125 and it’s tall but I’m doing pretty good I just have to get better with keeping the power and balance when going in the trails Bc it’s so much work on your body then a quad but I love it
You guys should do "how to get through a rhythm section" video. I tried last weekend and wrecked really hard so it would be nice to get some help with that
Matthew Abromeit we will put that in our idea box! Thanks for the suggestion
@@TheMxFactory alright, thank you guys!
My first bike is a 2018 TTR-230! I've ridden trail and track with it. It's been a great bike! Far more capable than people told me, and more than I expected.
Love the videos! I try to remember your tips every time I ride!!
JoeButler02 thanks for sharing 👍🏻 we are happy to help!
Every time I rode my ttr 230 on the track I was casing jumps. Maybe it's cuz im to fat! 🤣
@@joescott4764 definitely need to be in the right gear and have momentum for some of the jumps I've been over. I don't usually try to do any that are too big yet. I've only been riding for one season.
@@JoeButler02 Nice bro... keep riding pretty soon you'll be sending it over anything you want!
@@JoeButler02 Fo
they allow trail bikes at motorcross tracks?
This channel is awesome, I cant wait to get my first bike. I've been searching.
Solid video. I'm thinking about getting into riding and this was a good overview.
On my opinion I would rather buy a new one for Motorcross and old one for training.
I just bought a ttr 125 and I recommend it its a great bike!
I’m 13 years old what bike should I get the highest money I can afford is 500 If lower that would be better I will be a beginner btw

@@proyeet2455 💀
Thanks for this I really appreciate it it diffidently helped!!
Glad I found this use to ride dirtbikes but I wasn't ever riding my own bike just borrowed definetly a good video when beginning to look for a bike what legends
If there's one thing I'd change about these trail bikes it's that I wish changing the suspension was way easier. Learning to jump for me began with casing tabletops but the suspension always limited me. That's when I got a race bike, and on the first day of riding that bike I crashed because I wasn't ready for the racing capabilities. Sure yes I got lucky and only got some scabs but still it would have been way better for me to learn on a trail bike with upgraded suspension
My first bike was a tt that had forks from a 2 stroke 125. That helped alot!
Almost my birthday been wanting one for years might get my first 🙂
i’m hoping u get it bro
Thanks fir all the vids youve made it helped allot
Great vid man I subbed I appreciate your input
Just upgraded from a 2012 TTR 125 to a brand new 2022 CRF250F and it was definitely well worth it because of the fuel injection. For all of the beginner riders out there: if you have outgrown your 125 and you don't like the sensitivity of the race bikes then the CRF250F is definitely the way to go. Btw great vid!
I got a ssr125 I’m damn near done with that and I’m a beginner rider. I was gon do the 150 next or should i just go 250 ? It’s a big hump
Would a crf250f be a good starter bike im 6'0 and 250?
@@zoraideale3658 yes if you arent crazy about going fast and hitting jumps. I just got a 2019 CRF250R last december because I quickly outgrew the CRF250F's power and wanted to hit some jumps. The CRF250F didn't feel cramped out all for me and I'm 6'4. Although the CRF250R is a great beginner race bike if you do want to hit jumps though.
If your just starting out I recommend getting a BRC 500cc 2-stroke It’s a good reliable bike especially for a beginner
Lmfao 🤣 I don’t even ride but that doesn’t sound right for a beginner
You gonna get someone killed🤣
Awesome videos, and great bonus tip!!
Great videos love it you keep doing what ur doing I’m learning a lot.
I’ve been riding a bike with a clutch for a while so now I’m getting a YZ125 two stroke or a YZ250 fourstroke
That’s a good choice
Get the 4T they are so much better and more reliable. Also you can change the mapping to make them respond differently.
Good luck trying to find a bike now! Haha
This was very helpful, thank you.
Great tips! Thank you.
Cant go wrong with a 95 xr250
wish i could find a used bike in my area that i could pick up sadly after 8 months of searching i still cant find anything worth grabbing looks like i might be forced to go new and finance

watched this right when it came out and went and bought a CRF 125 and ride at my friend's personal track but ended up going more Enduro but this was still super helpful

I accidentally buyed a mx2 crf250r instead of a stock one as first bike 😅 I got a hard start but now I love this bike
Mario Schulz we are glad you like it !
Started out on my ttr 50 now I’m on my ttr 125 cause I can’t stand a 2 stroke sound😅
