    What is the point of changing the mapping when you are comparing two bikes ?? Wouldn’t it make sense to compare the bikes as is off the showroom floor the way a normal person would buy it .. that makes sense for a guy deciding which bike is best ..

      I'm in a similar boat but I've rented dirt bikes 3 times. Each time I rode a Honda CRF250F. I loved that bike, and would definitely buy it (then again, I would have probably enjoyed any bike). I think 250CC is the way to go for a beginner unless you're really heavy, then maybe 450CC or if you're short, then you might want 150CC. My buddy rode the 150CC and the smaller wheels were much more difficult in soft sand just FYI.
      I saw from a different video that CRF250F was built really tough and should be low maintenance compared to other models.
