[QUOTE="snb73, post: 1172866, member: 49046"] I'm not trying to bash anyones advice, but the CRF150F and CRF230F are both trail bikes. They are heavy and poorly suspended, basically old XR's with new plastic. You said you want to race, these are not race bikes. CRF150F = 223 lbs [url]http://powersports.honda.com/motorcycles/off-road/model.asp?ModelName=CRF150F&ModelYear=2007&ModelId=CRF150F7[/url] CRF230F = 238 lbs [url]http://powersports.honda.com/motorcycles/off-road/model.asp?ModelName=CRF230F&ModelYear=2007&ModelId=CRF230F7[/url] KX100 = 150 lbs [url]http://www.kawasaki.com/Products/Detail.aspx?id=152[/url] 85cc MX bikes = around 145 lbs A KX100 is a great choice. These bikes have a powervalve which helps lowend power. But these are also race bikes with great suspension, light weight and disc brakes. Go to a dealer and sit on a few bikes to see what fits. My girlfriend is 5"5" and I bought her a 2003RM100. (same bike as the KX100 just in yellow plastic) This is her first bike, she had never riden before. She has never driven a car with a clutch before. These bikes can putt around the trails and scream on the MX track. Take my word for it, if you are aggessive, this bike won't disappoint you. This is a great list of bikes with pro's and cons. LoriKTM compiled this. She explains the differences between trail bikes and MX bikes. I hate to use a cliche', but written by a woman for women.
