I am looking at buying a Honda CRF230F. Does anyone have any experience with this bike. I want a bike that is a good on trails and at the dunes. Please Help? I am a beginning rider, i am 17, weigh 150 and I am 6 ft tall. Is this the kind of bike i am looking for?
 
i think that you might want to look in to a crf 250 or 450 if you are going to be riding the dunes as well. because a 230 is good for the trails but that is about it.
 
I had a 2005 for about a year or so. It is a fun bike to play on and it has plenty power for a novice. The only real down sides are that the bike is a little heavy compared to a CRF250, it may feel a little bit cramped at your height but no big deal there, the suspension is fine for casual riding but can't handle motocross size jumps, and it is electric start only, no kick starter. For the money you really can't beat this bike. The CRF250 would obviously be a better bike, but that's why it's twice as much money also. If you haven't already sat on one try that first, but be sure to put your feet up on the pegs not on the floor. It is the bar to peg distance that is somewhat limited. You can always add taller bars to help the ergos.
