![]() | I was looking through and I am sure this thread has been done, but I could not find it. I am looking to start riding a dirt bike, preferable a ktm. I do work at a KTM Dealership, but I am looking for advice on which could be best for me as a woman. Salesman can only tell me so much that I do not understand. I just started working here, so I am definitely curious about what more experienced riders suggest! Thanks guys =] |

![]() | Re: Dirt Bike? I just started riding this year and I felt a good bike to start with was a 4 stroke 250. It's fast enough to keep me satisfied for a long time and it's easy to start and putt around in. Maintenance is super easy and I really love my bike. 08' yz250fx I know some people who swear by KTM, they are pretty sweet bikes and sound cool and look cool. I haven't rode any other so I can't really comment on which bikes are great. I've only had the yamaha and she is AWESOME! |

![]() | I definitely am not just going to go with KTM cause of my job, although it would be the cheapest and easiest option, I wanna just ride it, in my acerage, in the mud and dirt, ahaha! I don't really understand what the benefits to a 2 stroke are and a 4 stroke are I hear alot about it at work, but do not quiet grab the concept, have been reading up on it on here!

![]() | Re: Dirt Bike? Hi Alicia, i'm a 2nd year dirt biker and have had few bikes under the belt, I have now just bought a KTM SX 105, after upgrading from an 85. It depends on your riding style for sure what type to go with, also your height and weight. There are plenty of advantages to both 2 and 4 strokes, I have had both and I will stick to the 2 strokes for now as I find them to be a lot more challenging. The important thing I find being a girl is that you want a bike you are comfortable on, something you can handle..if your ont he trails and you fall or wipe you need to be able to pick it up, lift the back end to maneouver, etc. I ride with quite a few girls and most of us are only 1st, 2nd and 3rd season riders and we all ride 2 strokes, me personally, I would recommend you check out the KTM 105 SX, or a Kawasaki KX 100 - they're perfect size for girls, lots of jam, and they aren't heavy like the 4 strokes. My 4 stroke was bordering around 200 lbs, my KTM is 150...and i'm 5'1" 112 lbs.. anyways, thats my opinion...coming from another female rider... anyways good luck feel free to pm me if you have any other questions!
