[QUOTE="CAJW, post: 1345288, member: 1055"] This! Colin Edwards (The Texas Tornado) has a boot camp where they use 125cc bikes to teach technique and handling skills vs throttle mashing. Even Rossi rides dirt for cross training, so your street riding skills will benefit from sliding around in the dirt as well. My advice is start out with a small cc bike (250) learn the skills, take your lumps, then move up to something more exciting if you find that's your passion. BTW, KTM & Beta mnt schedules are predicated on racing schedules but, with sane trail riding use those numbers are regularly extended. Also, I've owned a number of dirt & dual sport bikes and do not consider the Beta or KTM's as a "compromise" as long as your focus is dirt and only need a plate to get to the trails or to ride connector roads.
