Hey I’m a new rider whose already taken the MSF course.
I’m 5-9 138lbs and 31y/o
My goal is to ride a 600cc sport bike and maybe learn some dirt riding.
I heard dirt bikes are a good way to start learning because you learn about regaining traction control and balancing.
I don’t want to get a pure dirt bike so I was looking at super motard bikes which I can throw dirt tires on.
Before I was thinking of the DRZ400 SM. However I think it is a bit big for a bike.
I came across the WR250 X (yamaha). It is still a tall bike and I have to stand on my tip toes.
I personally don’t like this tip toe feeling, however maybe if I lower the bike it will be closer to flat foot.
So my question is a SM a good bike to learn on?
The other kind of bike I was looking at was an old Honda cb 350 or something.
I also saw the new kawasaki 250. But I don’t know much about it and nor did the dealer.
It is a shorter bike than the WR250 X.
