Beginner advice

[Snaphappy]

There is no chance of me taking the dero off road so what should I be looking at for pure off road fun, I have very limited experience (none) does engine size play a big difference in learning the basics I was thinking along the lines of a 350 or 500 road legal off road toy
recommendations please

Why not? I know a nutter (opps sorry) fine gentleman who does

[Snaphappy]

Not enough bottle or experience

and a 300 kilo lump is not ideal for a beginner I need something I can pick up easy

Get an old DR350 or XR250 for cheapness and less worry when you drop it again and again.

[Mabels Old Man]

DRZ400 should do it

Truthfully?

OK then, here goes.......

the only thing that really matters is cheap enough so that when you throw it on the ground, down a hill or into a river you are still laughing, saying thank doG i didn't try to hang on.

ideally it will be sturdy, so it dont break, and cheap to fix when it does, easy enough to lift, and drain, in the field as it were.

make sure you can start it in any conditions, kick or e dont matter if its easy - my e start only ttr was a breeze to bump start even on mud

if you have choices, make sure you get 21 front and 18 rear wheels, so you can get good tyres, and use uhd tubes.

Any thing else is just cherries .

sorry, I had to read that a couple of times before I could work it out, I couldn't figure out why you need so many front & rear wheels...

To cater for punctures, of course.

[StumpyFingers]

Get yourself an MT350 they are great fun off road and Spares should be easy for you to get hold of.

Light is right.......
