Hi all! New to the forum,I've seen enduro riders in action and I've watched hours of it on the Internet,I've had bikes since a kid and it's my kind of riding style! What bike would you recommend as a starter? I have a big wheel pit bike at the moment until I sort some savings out for a better bike and hopefully join you all! Thanks..

Hi C.A.H & welcome, what bike.....? is the hardest question to answer.
So many different types & models to choose from, one bike may suit one man the next will hate it.
Have you got a full bike licence ? it would be needed to enjoy trail riding to the full.

Definitely a 4 stroke,I find 2's unpredictable and usually at bad times lol! Nope,I'm going to look into it:)

Do your CBT and get a 125 - speed and power are not everything - theres a guy on here with a Husky 125 - goes everywhere anyone else does

Do you know if the age restriction for a 250 is 21?

Been a while since I passed my test, back then you could ride up to 33 bhp if passed on a 125cc for two years then ride what you want.
Sure you can ride a 250 stock bike, not sure what the bhp is on a 450 trail/enduro bike stock tho! would think its not that high anyone know ?

I think I'd wrap myself round a tree on a 450 haha,250 should do for now
