• Answer:

  If your bike is not registered or at least able to be registered then you can't ride it on public roads and streets, etc.. Then you will need a bike license to ride as well. Riding a dirt bike is no safer or more dangerous than a road bike, if you aren't careful or paying attention to what you are doing the end result will be the same. If you crashed on a quad on your own it was your fault if you were the rider, accept it and move on. The bikes to think about are in the up to 125cc 2-stroke range and up to about 180cc in a 4-stroke. The 4-strokes are a bit easier for a newbie to learn to ride as the 2-strokes can be a bit aggressive. Suzuki, Honda, Kawasaki and Yamaha all make ideal and well thought out models. As a beginner stick to one of those makers and don't be swayed by prices of cheap Chinese bikes, they have major problems that will cost you big bucks over time. Take someone who knows what to look for in a bike to help find a good bike for you. The best gloves and boots and a SNELL approved helmet for protection for yourself. For $3,000 you should be able to get all you need....
