When we are taught to ride a dirt bike, we learn how to control the bike and conquer the track and terrain but what about the real threat out there in the wild? What about... Bigfoot?! The legend of Bigfoot has been one of the greatest mythical narratives ever told with countless people claiming to have seen the strange, large ape-like figure. There have been thousands of Bigfoot sightings in wooded and mountainous areas all over the world…the same areas we tend to go off-roading in. In the case that you come face to face with the one and only Bigfoot, you will need a powerful dirt bike to help you escape. Here is our list of the dirt bikes that can outrun everyone's favorite furry legend!
