Hope This Helps.
You are 5 7 125 and you want a dirt bike should you get a trail or racing bike and what size?
this depends on a couple factors. one, are you going to be riding on trails, tracks, open fields, etc? i can recommend a few models for you however. im not sure which brand you prefer, so ill all of them.
if you want a trail bike, i recommend looking these models up-Yamaha tt-r 230, Honda
crf230 L, suzuki drz 250 or drz 400, kawasaki klx 250, and ktm 300 xc.
some of these models are street legal or can be made street legal. theyre all four stroke, some are fast some are slow, youll have to do some research.
here are some dual sport cycles, all of them are street legal.
Yamaha xt 650, Honda xr 650, suzuki drz 650, kawasaki klr 650, or ktm 690.
all these are 4 strokes too, and these have a taller seat height which may be a bit difficult for you to saddle up on. theyre fast though.
and finally there are the competetion models. these are race bikes and ready to burn.
Yamaha yz 125, Yamaha yz 250(f) Honda cr 125, Honda cr(f) 250 r, Honda cr 250, kawasaki kx 125, kawasaki kx 250 (f), suzuki rm 125 suzuki rm 250, (f), and ktm sx 125, ktm sx 250 (f)
of the following, all the 125s are 2 stroke, and youll note that after the 250s, i have the "f" in parenthesis. this means you can either get thhis model in 2 or 4 stroke. for example, if you wanted to look up the Yamaha yz 250 2 stroke, youd enter "Yamaha yz 250" whereas if you wanted the four stroke model, youd enter "Yamaha yz 250 f"
Why does my Yamaha raptor just clicks when you try to start it?
Likely low battery- the click is the starter solenoid trying to pull in, but not enough current to turn the starter motor. If it will start with a jump, either battery or charging system needs attention.
Absolutly not!
New Answer:
Dirt isn't that bad once you get to know it. Only dirt that has been sprayed with chemicals is bad for you. Dirt is rich in nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 comes from bacteria in the dirt. If you want to know the truth about dirt, ask people who have eaten dirt habitually for many years. The average person eats a pound of dirt a year without even knowing it. Most plants grow in the dirt, and almost all vegetables carry a little dirt. Dirt can help you get used to germs, supporting your immune system. Dirt is very good for you. In fact, dirt is key to life!
Are you allowed to ride dirt bikes on a beach?
That would depend on who owns the beach and on local ordnances.
Where I'm at I would be allowed to ride on privately owned beaches, if I have the land owner's permission. Public beaches would be a no-no.
