[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 163540, member: 1650"] At 16 the big question is how much money you have to spend, will your parents go along with it, and the age old what kind of riding do you want to do with it? I think you could start just about anywhere. If you are going to race or plan to soon, I think a 250 two stroke would be a good rig considering your size. It would be a good cross country bike for you as well. Yamaha and Honda are my favorites, but if you can find a KTM you can afford in good shape the possibilities are better for the kind of woods I have seen in your part of the country. Tell us some more about what you plan to do to with it. There are people on here that know the three brands listed really well. (and lots of others as well.) You could buy a yamaha with the current engine (started in 99) and build a really good bike for all around use. [/QUOTE]
