125 vs 250cc 2 stroke motocross?

Question

Hi, I want to get a new bike and am wondering whether I should get a 125 or a 250. I'll definitely go for a 2-stroke, as they're easier to maintain and have a simpler design. 125cc bikes are always fun to ride thanks to the rev range: high revs, lots of power, low revs, practically no power. It's different with a 250cc, of course; you have plenty of power even at low revs. I want to use the bike primarily for motocross, but definitely also for enduro/hard enduro.

About me: I am 14 and 1.90m tall, and weigh around 70-80kg.

If I get a 125cc, the question is how long I can ride it without it becoming too slow for me.

What do you say?

It's a matter of taste, but the trend is about 4-stroke engines.

A 125 cubic that will never be too slow for you, the engine compartments in Motocross can simply not be compared with those of road machines. And even in races, the round times in the engine compartment classes hardly differ. A motocross is always as fast as your driving skills and stamina are.

For MX ->, after operating hours and not after running performance. 2-stroke less expensive? Well, if you don't fool yourself about maintenance.

If you are seriously running MX and Enduro (ie race track) ->, the maximum speed doesn't matter anyway.

Sorry if I tell you the message, but you should first inform you what you need and then choose a machine/engine.

125cc – it's not for you. Your proposal is the 250 /2 tacter – who has put the fled in your ear that has already powered in the small speeds. Nonsense, it's also a 2 Tacter that you need to keep above 6000 to have power, and when the power hit comes out like that, she'll take you to the hospital as a beginner. at the 250s/2t you already need a lot of experience to drive them. You have to keep them at speed before the curve in the curve, before the jump, at the jump and you have to switch a lot at all. You can't do that.

In the sport you get a machine according to his experience.

That would be a 250 / 4 tacter with you (for the 4 tacter has the power in the lower rotary ball band, you turn less).

You can make it all wrong and don't make fun of sports = you can see your question. Or you do it right and buy your motorcycles according to experience.
