How can i get into atv racing?

Im 14, 6'3, and weigh 230lb and want to get into racing. what size and what bike do youj think i should get?

• i have a share of experience on dirt bikes and i destroy the atv world. but i really want to race mx. i do have a lot of skill when it comes to off road racing and i have had a contract offer. i just really need to know what bike you would suggest for me to get. i can only have a 4 stroke and my highest cc limit is 300. thanks.

• Answer:

  Well, a lot of people are going to say you would be best on a 450. I don't agree with them. Honestly, a 250 has a ton of power and it's a great bike. Most likely, you're lap times would be faster on the 250 since it's easier to ride. But you are limited to 300, which means you pretty much can only get the 250. If you're looking for a new bike, I suggest the 2012 Kawasaki KX250f, or the Suzuki RMZ250. They are both pretty close, but the Kawi has more power. It is also sprung for a 220lb rider, I think more then the RMZ, so you might need new springs when the new ones start to break in. Yamaha and Honda are fine, but they aren't as great this year. KTM is just a waste of money. Well not really a waste, but too much since the currency rate between the US and Austria isn't great. Kawasaki or Suzuki. If you pick the Suzuki up by 3/31/12, you get 0% apr for 5 years and a $500 off coupon. GREAT DEAL, I'm buying one.
