Ok im really interested in getting a dirt bike and have always wanted one even as a kid. About 12 years..Im 15 and would like to get a dirt bike specifically a Honda. im about 145 pounds and about 5 8" I would like a Bike that isnt HUGE but packs a good punch. Some thing with good Acceleration and top speed. I would use it for riding around but i would also like to ride down large hills and jump ALOT with it. I would also like to ride in the Dunes and would like to have something strong enough to be able to get me to the top of a 100ft dune.Im not into the whole racing thing so mark that one off too... I really dont think a crf trail bike is any good for jumping and dunes but any others? Id like something that I can also be keeped at least 3 years before out growing it. Im a beginner but have ridden motorcycles before. Thanks! Also my price range is no more than 2k thanks -Fuzzy
 
I would look for a used Honda 250 2 or 4 stroke. You will probably not be able to find a new one for 2k.

Most of the freestyle riders seem to ride the 2 strokes due to the quick acceleration, both would be great bikes

Have fun!
 
if ur new at mx bikes, then i would recommend starting on a CR125. its light so dropping the bike wont be too much of an issue and its zipppy enough to keep up with the big boys. its 2 stroke so that means it accelerates well and can plow up a dune anytime.
but if u think u can handle a bigger bike or u do have experience, id say get a CR250 or a CRF250. the CR will be faster and quicker, but the CRF will carry power behind it, still very fast, but not as snappy as a 2 stroke.

EDIT: based on ur price range and experience, i say CR125, they are reatively cheap used and with ur budget u can probably find a nice one with aftermarket work thats only a few years old.
