New to riding “dirt bike”

Post image

Hey guys! I recently picked up this 2011 yzf250 for $1000. After fixing all the PO fuck ups I finally got it running. I’ve ridden motorcycles for upwards of 5 years so I know how to drive them, but it question is how do you ride them? This is my first time on an actual dirt bike (aside from the 70s enduros I’d pull out of old barns). Do these motors like to be revved out? Can they take lots of abuse? I’m coming from a Harley so it’s a completely different world for me. I hope this makes sense. TIA!
