What is a good beginner bike for me?
I've been riding ATV's for many many years starting with a 50cc Suzuki, 90cc ArcticCat, and now a 300cc Honda Fourtrax 4x4. I have a lot of experience on the trails and I know how to ride a bike but not entirely comfortable. I'm a 15 year old male, 5'9 155lbs. I want a good 4 stroke and i'm going to be going on a lot of trails. I get bored fast so I want one that will be fun to ride. My dad always feels like he can fix everything and whenever he tries to order parts or fixes my rides they always break down into a bigger problem and end up paying a ton of money in the long run so I also need a strong and reliable dirt bike that barely will have issues. Any suggestions?
Added (1). Thanks for your answer, Samuel. I did a little research and i'm not too sure about which year I should get. I've heard the '07 was great to have with little problems, what should I look out for and the years to avoid?
Honda crf250x? They are a good trail/enduro bike they are honda so they are great quality and won't break down as much as a 250r or a two stroke. Also, look into the ktm, husaberg and husquvarna enduro bikes. Those 3 makes focus lots on enduro, but can be more pricey than a japanese bike.
Hope this helped.

- What's a good beginner sport bike? Is a 2008 honda cbr600rr a great choice? Or there's more? I started liking sport bikes like today and i learned alot of bikes names. Having a 1000cc is my dream in the future. I like bikes with great sounds and great body and style. Ducati panigale 1199 is probably the best looking one i have seen on the interent and it is my dream of having one
- What would you recommend as a beginner bike on my list? 200 cc dual sport (I will sometimes go on the dirt with it), a ninja 250, a ninja 300, a Honda cbr 300, or a cbr 500?
- What would be the kind of sports bike apt for a beginner to start-off? I'm new to riding bikes, and I've ridden cruise bikes( I'd like to start-off my sports-bike riding. For now, my options for a beginner's sports bike are a Kawasaki Ninja 300, a Honda CBR250RR and a 600RR. I could afford a budget around 6,000 USD to 7,000 USD. What, according to your opinion and experience, would be a good starter sports bike for a beginner? And what kind of technical know-how and riding skills should I be needing to work on, in order to use one properly?
- What's a good beginner bike for a tall rider? I've always wanted to get a bike ever since my mom let me ride one when I was 12. I'm a 16 year old girl, 5'9", 135 pounds. I was thinking about a Triumph Bonneville (it's my dream to own one but now I'm thinking it's too small) or a Honda. Does anyone know what would be a good bike for me, even if I grow an inch or two more before I can afford one?
