hey guys, new to the forum
finally getting into dirt bike riding.
Been riding roadbikes for the past 7 years, started off on a ZX2R ninja, then went a ducati 748 and past 5 years been riding a gsxr750 ('08 model).
Done a lot of road riding, quite a few track days, and pretty keen to get a dirt bike to help again with my riding...
Not too sure what to buy though, definitely want a 250, and a 4-stroke.
What would you suggest between a SX-F 250 or a EXC-F 250?
I'm not 100% sure what i will be using it on, but it would be a mix of riding in state forest, trails etc and also here and there take it to the track for a bit of fun.
I've noticed the EXC-F has electric and kick start, but the SX-F only has kick...doesn't bother me too much, but i know electric is a lot more useful out in the bush.
As far as engines go, gearbox ratios etc, what should i expect? Same engine and power?
Whats the gearbox on the SXF like? gears too close and tall?
Any help, feedback is appreciated
I'm 5'7", weigh about 165lb, and want to stick on a 250 because until i can ride that like i stole it, only then i will upgrade...
