im 6 foot 205 pounds and i was wondering how much is the difference of the 230f and the yz if they were in top speed wise which one has more power? does the 230f have more acceleration than the 85 or does the 85 blow it away? and which one is better for your money? and or is there some other kind of dirtbike i should look at this would be my first dirtbike ever.

The 85 would deffinatly be to small for you Im 5'11 and 165 and its pretty small on me.

Ive seen my little bro do it befor. But he had a cr85. He beat it in aceleration, tourque and climbed hills better, better suspension. I think the crf has a little more top speed. His cr was basicaly a 400ex. He could pull it up in any gear, stock. But i think you should be on a 250f or 125 for your weight.
