Alright so your only experience is a 50cc, since your 14 your gonna need a lot more power than that!

Since you're fairly new to this kind of stuff you might want to get a Semi-Auto (No clutch)

I went straight to clutch though and had no problems, once you have the hang of using the clutch you're good to go.

Ohh also whats your budget? Bikes can be expensive so be prepared to fork out some cash!

Bikes I suggest:

Kawasaki KX 125
Yamaha YZ 125
HondaCRF 85 (My first ever proper bike )
Suzuki RM 125
KTM 125
Yamaha TTR 125

All of these are great bikes but cost quite a lot, you also have to put into consideration the cost of all the protective gear!

Yea but when you get older your going to want more power so why not go ahead and get the 250 and when you get older you don't have to get a new one with more power, im thinking long term man

I suppose that's a good idea, there's also the fact that its funny seeing someone riding for there first time on a powerful bike, always ends with some kind of crash!

OP: If you have anymore queries feel free to PM me!

You might want to get a kx 85 small wheel
Don't get anything over 110cc
Get more experience on a big then get a Yz 125 or a ktm 125

You could even get a 125cc pitbike, a stomper they are alright.

I'm 15, 5'10 and havve a csr 250 but get something smaller.

Make sure to get a smallwheel
