The only reason 2s has the advantage in dirtbikes is because of the weight savings, both in physical size/weight of the jug, and it's moving mass- I think the 2storkes are easier to fling around corners. Plus the 4-strokes make torque off longer stroke, making for a taller jug, higher COG, etc. On ATV's I think some of that stuff is less of an issue. I could be wrong, but I don't care.
Digi: My first experience taking sportbikes offroad was when you were 7 years old. Don't get too ahead of yourself mate. |

- less maintenance - easier kick starting - more reliable (I'm talking vs. MX thumpers) - no engine braking - more fun? (personal preference) I just sold my KTM 450 XC, and whittled the dirt bikes down to my one 300 XC-W. I took the 300 around 80-90% of the time. I prefer dirt biking too - no cops, no cages, good exercise, and one year land access = less than a trackday in cost. |

Looking to try dirt. I was told that if I played in the dirt my street riding would greatly improve. True??? What are some recomendations for a good begining bike?

We should hook up one day and I'll let you try my DR (it's a lowered 650), it's not the easiest bike for single track, but it's perfect for the backroads, twisties and commuting. BTW I'm on the other end of your county... |

Your height is prob. the most important determining factor as to what would make a good beginner bike, but CRF230's seem to be popular w/ woman beginners. They're a bit heavy, but easy to ride, reliable, and have e-start. A KTM 200 would also be good to look @ if it fits. |
