+1 :cool:2 strokes for life said:Yes a KX125 would do you great.
Rooster said:At 6'-0" and 150 or so, a 125 would suit you better than anything smaller or bigger for a starter bike. I had a 1987 KX125 that was like a tank, couldn't kill that thing with a missile.
What part of Rhody do you reside and ride?
Aryain said:The KX250 is going to be a beast for your weight. On a 250 you would run high chances of getting yourself into a really bad situation really fast.
Good luck :cool:

fmx4eva said:a kx 125 would probably be a harder bike to learn on as all racing style 2 strokes have a very short power band which will quite quickly throw you off the back of the bike. a 4 stroke 250 would probably more suited to someone who has had no expreience riding dirtbikes with gears and a manual clutch. they are less agressive for a learner and a lot safer with a broad power band that is easier to handle. height is not an issue there, as long as you can touch the ground it is fine. i would go for a 4 stroke 250 for 2 main reasons. the sudden burst of power from a 2 stroke when it hits power band can be hard to handle for someone with not much experiene, and also, 2 strokes are slowly on the way out, as the more economic 4 strokes are becoming more advanced and are better for the environment. also a four stroke requires less maintenance, with a 2 stroke having a recommended 10 hours of riding, or 1 race day before replacing piston rings etc.
