I would agree that one of the big singles could be a good step up choice for a rider still working towards experienced rider status. It would depend on rider size though, it takes a big and/or experienced rider to comfortably ride some of the taller versions. These things are big, tough and fun. You'd also have a fair dirt bike if you accidentally went "off-road".

Amen to the rider size issue. This bike is not for those short of inseam. Otherwise, it's great !

I would love to ride a BossHoss - just to see what it's like...

{{I know this sport can make even a "wiser" rider do dumb things.}}

Amen to that!

Hang on a minute, guys. Twodads doesn't say where he is, but he's not in England, because we don't have a 250cc limit on learners any more. It's 125cc, and has been for years. After that it's 33bhp if you're still young, unlimited if you're older ( don't ask: it's complicated). And even if he were in England, he wouldn't want a dirtbike because the idea of dirtbiking as you have it in the US is virtually unknown here - largely due to us not having access to large amounts of dirt. And it doesn't rain all the time, either: just most of it. But if he WERE in the UK, he'd buy an SV650 or Honda's CB500 twin, like everybody else.
