Newbie dirt biker (swillisam)

[swillisam]

Hey everyone I'm a bit new to all this but been having a look through the forum and thought I better join. I've been riding around on my old mans Sukuzi 350 dirt bike to learn etc since I don't have my own yet but now I really want to have some fun and get one myself I can throw around.

So I'm after a bit of advice of what to buy:
Budget is around $2000.
Want the bike to be beginner (as still learning) to intermediate skill so I get a good show when I'm more experienced, so thinking 250cc?
I'm going to mainly do trial rides and that.

Not really sure what else to say so any advice would be brilliant on what to look for/get etc?

You'll find the natives friend;y, helpful and a wee bit mad. Happy buying.

On the mad part we have to give credit to the English who lead the world.

Dirt biking is a great way to get bike handling skills that you will use on the road. I wouldn't be the awesome rider I am today if I hadn't owned several dirtbikes as a teenager.

Thanks, yeah any good words of advice on what bikes to get/stay away from?

Also been wondering about a road bike too, been looking through and saw that Hyosung GT250R seem quite reliable and good learner/intermediate bike which is cheap and economical and looks good too. Is it a very quick 250?
