starter bike???

Just my thought.....I would try out a 4 stroke dirt bike first just to get the feel for the clutch, location of the clutch, and just sifting and taking off in general. I say a 4 stroke so the power is consistent at all RPM, some 2-strokes can have a calm bottom end and can surprise you with a strong power band at the top end. With that being said....street bikes are a different breed than dirt bikes. The weight distribution, stopping, and balance can be pretty different. Sorry if it sounds like a rant but im just saying on the dirt might be a better place to start. Whatever you do, be safe and have fun :)
