hey yall im thinkin about gettin a 250F but i have never owned a bike before and ya but can you learn on a bike like that i am a very quik learner and know how to shift just not clutch but it sound not very hard thx everybody if you reply cause i need to know before i get the bike
I Guess you could but
When you learnt to drive, did you learn on a race car? The YZ & WR250F are both very competitive race bikes (once de-restricted), and not really ideal for learing on. The motors are not really happy puttering around.
I'd try to find a friend or park or somewhere that has a CRF150 or TTR125 to learn the gears on. If you take to that well, then you might get a 250F.
Try it and see is the best bet.
YZ 250F not for a rookie
For a starter bike I agree with Simon... I might go with a TTR125. One of my bikes is a 250F and I'm a 6fter/ 200lbs. This bike will getty up and go and operates best when pushed not "babysat". Start on something else then migrate to the 250F when you can use all the power. I have always had more fun on a bike that I could ride wide open versus one that I could only putt around on. The TTR will set you up nice for the 250 when you are ready.
re: can u learn
Yea, u can learn. my first bike is/woz an XR250. at first it was hard but then once u get the hang of it it's heapz mad. Especially if ur a quick learner!;)

yeh
its easy to learn you just take it easy and do nothing stupid when you first get it and then progress from there
Don't listen to these guys
Get the bike and just take your time. I just had my buddy buy a 400f to learn on. He takes his time and has a great time. He's no racer but he has a bike that he's happy with and will be able to grow with it.
hmmm
Just hope you can learn to ride better then you learned to write.
i need help
im a beginner to dirtbikes never had one before but i wanna get into it. im 16 220lbs and 5 6 what do you people think is a good bike for me since im heavy i like the ktm 2004 125sx im i too big for that dirtbike thanks a lot
lessons
In addition to starting on the right bike to begin with (as suggested a TTR 125 or CRF 150), it is important to get COMPETENT instruction. You will save time learning, won't be stuck with bad habits that ultimately will come back to injure you, and you will have more fun because you will progress more rapidly and then be able to keep up with you buddies more easily.
So get the right bike, take a lesson or three, and then REALLY have some fun. You will never regret it!
I learn't on a 97 cr250 and f
I learn't on a 97 cr250 and fuck did i learn fast i came of it all the time but nothing too full on. Then i blew it up and fucked around rebuilding it and cleaning it up then i finally sold her to my mate.
My hunger for another dirtbike was beconing so after careful consideration i settled with the yz250f, after coming off the ridgid and aggresive aluminium frame, as well as shithouse suspension onto a smooth handling, torquey toy. i say toy because that is how easy and versitile a 250f is it opened me up to a whole new level of riding. My riding has progressed in leaps and bounds. Im 6 ft and 80kg.
so if u want to be able to ride a race bike i found it good for me to start on one because you develope a different style then just riding trail bikes.
haha
haha
not true
im 13 and have a yz250f and i can ride it wide open and have no trouble what so ever
buying
first of all i ride a cr250r. Its great, i have the time of my life on it and im only 15 years old and weigh 170 pounds. well have fun

You all Suck
You all suck and i am the best. i have a xr250 r and my dad put a few thousand dollars into it. the bike kicks ass now.
xr250r
i ownn 25 acres of land in michigan and there are all types of terrain. i have an xr250 r and my dad bought me brand new dunlop d756 front and rear tires. those things kick ass man. you can do anything on them and you never slip or wipe out because of no traction. are there any others that are good?
FOR RIZZLE!
DUDE A YZ 250F IS JUST BOUT THA SAME SIZE OF A YZ 125. AND U KNO WHAT? THEY BOTH KICK ASS. I HAV A YZ 125 MYSELF BUT AT FIRST I WANTED A 250F BECAUSE IT IS 4STROKE AND THAT IS WHAT I HAVE HAD FOR ALL MY LIFE I AM 14 AND HAV BEEN RIDING FOR 7 YEARS I JUST GOT A YZ125 FOR X-MAS
go for it
buy one cheap enough (but nice) and if you can't get the hang of it, sell it (the cheap price you bought it for...or more for profit!) and get a ttr. it may be small for you, but it's a good bike to learn on. that or maybe the bigger ttr (not the 225, ugh) the enduro one...is that a 250? They aren't popular though...but thats a good line of bikes!
just a quick question...
i am 18 and have always been riding friends bikes and everything.. i think it's time to get my own.. what do you guys think would be the best bike to get to do trail riding and jumps and things? I like the look of the YZ 125.. i need something hopefully not much over a thousand.. and still in really good condidtion... does anyone know what i should go for and where i can get it??? thanks :) -claire-

Hell Yes you can learn!!
I always wanted to learn to ride a motorcycle. I felt like you--it seems complicated--not. The most important thing is a patient teacher who does not yell at you and make you feel like a moron. The first bike I tried was a street bike in the late 80's. I believe it was a yamaha. I crashed broke my brothers friends bike tail light and my brother yelled at me so much I never tried again. Still wanted to learn. My husband bought a suzuki rm250 for himself and an Rm 80 for my daughter. I was deadly afraid because now Im old. My nephew taught me on my daughters 80 in my back yard. I still crashed, but thats part of the game. With in 10 mins, I was riding round and round. I was totally stoked. Now I have my own bike and love to go riding to Gorman in Hungary Valley, CA----The dirt and street are 2 different things. I still crash but thats because I am ripping the bike up and pushing the limits--all part of the game. So If and old dog like me can learn--anyone can!!! Remember Balls Out!!
