[QUOTE="Birken Vogt, post: 773831, member: 29698"] I am 6' and 165 lbs and I basically learned to ride on my CR500 and then got the XR600 for a spare. It was heck trying to learn throttle control and how to maintain a proper minimum speed when I first got the 500 but now neither bike is much of a handful to me. I had to learn to ride the 600 gently to keep it from wiping out berms and trails from under me too. I don't know much about smaller bikes, my 200 has never really run for me but I ride other people's occasionally and I find myself disgusted with lack of power. I don't think I could ever be happy on a smaller bike until I get really old. My mentor always used to ride an XR600 until he was over 60, then he went through a few bikes and ended up with a DR250S. I have a long way to go for that and my 600 starts easier than his did which is why he got rid of it Birken [/QUOTE]
