I actually sold the chinese crappa yesterday.
I’ve been itching to get back into it for weeks now that its gone I’m on the hunt. Hubby suggested I wait , save, and get a new bike :unsure: . But there are so many great second hand ones the few thousand difference is better in my pocket.
So if I put some links to adds I’d appriciate your feedback.
My ultimate dream is to own a Berg. But maybe when I can actually ride properly

I’d like a 450 plus BUTTTTT I think I probably suck at riding too much at the moment.
oh yeah and I like change from 7k please….. I don’t ask for much do I ??
Congrats on selling your bike, i really thought it would end up as land fill :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
They are a quick, strong and reliable bike and it wont matter if it falls over a few times

:laugh: I see you’ve heard about my riding style :laugh: I just like to see the track from different angles thats all.
The only thing that puts me off a Yamaha is someone told me that the older models have cheap rims and crappy brakes. Seeing as I tend to um take the harder route up hills I’m worried it might be a bit delicate for me. Is this true? I could get a Husky
KTM is a possibility why oh why do they have to be such an ugly color!?!?!

I would advise to you the same as I do anyone who is new and wanting to have a bit of a go to learn what its all about.Yes a KTM / WR 250F are good all round bike but they require alot of maintenance, don’t really like crashing, and cost a bit to repair.
I think when starting out a TTR250 or even an older XR 250 are an excellent place to start.
Low seat height, nice easy to use 4 stroke power, NO RADIATORS to damage when you fall over, long engine rebuild intervals, longer service intervals, easy to work on etc etc etc.The TTR also has electric start so I would go with one of those.
Once you a flogging that to a point that you want to go faster but it won’t and your not falling over so much, then you can look at stepping up – it will be time for the berg
Its cool Jeffro, we all have an opinion, thats what OG is after
i would go the wr over the ktm just my opionion more reliable(in 250 s) there both girls bikes
Hmmm no one has mentioned the 310 Husky?? any reason?
Yeah someone told me to by a TTR but it weights 131 kg!! Seeing as I often ride alone and have to get the bike on and off the trailer by myself 30kg extra is a lot. I once got trapped under my crappa bc I slipped putting it on the trailer and the whole 145kg fell on my back.
Then that same day it fell over in the trailer while driving home and I couldn’t lift it up.Thankfully I’d thought to change into a short tight black denim skirt and low V neck shirt after my ride…..needless to say I didn’t have to pick it up OR tie it down
But I’d rather not rely on random men driving by to pick my bike up for me :laugh: :laugh:
I rode a KLX250 and that was comfy but when it came to the tight single stuff it was a bit too bulky. Was probably just me though.
