250 is probably too big. maybe a klx 110 or an xr100 or something like that.

 

But aren't those bikes too small for his height? Will they hold his weight? He's a big guy.

 

yeah, a 50 will hold his weight. they make big bar handlebar kits for them that free up a lot of room

 

i'd recommend a 250 4 stroke, i have a yz 250f, and thats the wheeliest poppin thing you ever seen

 

I have a crf150 4-stroke in my garage I play with sometimes...I am 6' 195 lbs and it holds me up...

It will wheelie, but you have to rev the hell outta it.

 

XR100 is good, it will hold a good 300 lbs. i learned on one. somewhat better than a 50 because it has a clutch
Dangerous little machine though. it will FUCK YOU UP if you dont treat it with the same respect as a 600.
not a bad tool for learning, and you can get em all day long for a grand
if your really learning disabled, start with a 3 wheeler 4 wheeler

 

everybike can be wheelied, some are easier that is all, not all dirt bikes are the same, a TTR is more for trails and has a smaller power output, not a bad bike to learn on, bounce the front and gas it, it should come up,

best bike to learn wheelies?? something cheap, or someone elses:laughing

The TTR is a wheelie machine. That's all Wade does on it. :shake :laughing

I have more, but I won't bore you with them. :laughing

I was mainly concerned with a bike holding my friends weight, as he's stout. The last time I talked to him, he's had to put buying another bike off to a later date. He's still undecided, although I've talked him out of getting a bigger bike.

 

but you still seem to like taking pics of his wheelies

 

That's because I don't have any pics of me doing wheelies on it yet.

Because he sucks at taking pictures of me unless it's . . . well. . . nevermind.

gotcha:laughing

 

buy his ass a BMX

 

The only bike I've ever really wheelied was a DR650, it was the easiest thing to do in the world on that bike.

Girl, we really need to get Wade to get you doing wheelies...you sound too antsy!!!:laughing

 

:laughing


It's been awhile since I've played on the bike. I guess I need to go dig it out of the shop and practice my wheelies.

 

The yz250 would destroy me before I could learn to stunt it. I'm going to learn by beating up a baby ninja.

I'm tired of watching the boys have all the fun. But I don't want to kill myself either, and a two stroke 250 is not a learning bike. It'll teach you stuff, but it's painful to learn that way.

Excessa, I have a TTR 125 (4-stroke) it's fairly easy to wheelie and learn to wheelie on. I haven't been trying much (or lately) but Wade can clutch wheelie it up easy in 1st and 2nd gear, and a couple of times he's managed to get it up in third.

He can also ride the wheelie for a while.

A TTR would be cheaper than the baby ninja and easier and cheaper to replace parts. :thumb

 

any cheap bike is great for doing wheelies on..

WHEN YOU COME OUT TO OUR STUNT SPOT, IN THE SPRING AND SUMMER I BRING OUT MY STUNTED OUT EX250 AND 3WHEELER. GREAT FOR LEARNING

 

Martino, you rule.

I'll keep my medical insurance up to date.

 

XR100, TTR125? :whatever You guys are full of it. An XR 250 is barely enough for someone his size. Unless the XR 250 has made some major power improvements, I'd look for something over 400cc in the 4-stroke dirt bike dept.

HAVE YOU EVER WHEELIED A XR100 OR TTR? NO. THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP.
PEOPLE READ THIS SHIT AND THINK THEY'RE MAKING INFORMED DECISIONS BASED UPON WHAT THEY READ. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT SHIT YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT, YOU MIGHT BE CAUSING SOMEONE A SERIOUS INJURY TRYING TO STUNT A 400CC DIRTBIKE WHEN A XR100 WILL DO.
DONT POST MISGUIDED, MISINFORMED OPINIONS AND STAND BEHIND THEM LIKE IM A FUCKING MORON FOR SUGGESTING IT.

MY BUDDY IS BUILT LIKE A TANK 280LBS, CAN WHEELIE AN XR50 AND XR100 ALL DAY LONG LIKE A CHAMP.

A guy I know wanted to get a dirt bike to play around on. He rides a '01F4i now. He didn't bother to do much research on a bike and probably got one of THE WORST dirt bikes to start on, simply because someone told him, "oh, you ride a crotch rocket...this bike will be no problem for you." You wanna know what he got? He got a '96 RM250 and can barely ride the damn thing, from what he says. Oh, he wheelies and endos his F4i, but the power difference between the two bikes is completely throwing him off. Not a good choice for a first dirt bike. I'm kind of hoping he'll take his time and try to learn it without doing something completely stupid on it, especially since he's bought it. Or...find one better suited to his riding skills/level and sell the RM. I guess what I'm trying to say is he made a mistake because of what someone told him who thought they knew something (without asking others who were knowledgable) and I hope he can maturely deal with the situation he's gotten himself into.

I have a 125 2-stroke and can only imagine what it would be like to ride a 250 without any dirt bike experience. :eek :eek :eek
