[QUOTE="gospeedracer, post: 690115, member: 17307"] Currently I ride a KTM200mxc. I'm 5'10 so bike height isn't really an issue for me but weight is. I won't even consider owning a bike I can't pick up. I've ridden most of the bikes mentioned here, KTM200 and 250rfs, GG200, KDX200, Pampera, TTR-125L, TTR250 as well as the TTR225. For what it's worth, if any, I'll give you my opinion on each based on my personal experience...... KTM200 - light and zippy, sometimes a little too zippy, this thing still has a tendancy to get away from me if I'm not careful and I'm working on some ways to mellow it out. Fast bike, when someone else is on it. :confused: KTM250rfs - FUN FUN FUN!! Didn't even need the E-start, I could practically 'kick' start it with my hand! Nice and smooth. I don't recall what the weight is but I believe it is only slightly heavier than my 200 which is about 225. KDX200 - also FUN FUN FUN. My ex-boyfriend had one and that thing was like a cadillac. A little heavier than I prefer but a good all around bike. I've seen some excellent riders do some pretty amazing things on a KDX! TTR250 - Another cadillac but I can only use one word to describe it, HEAVY!!! My boyfriend sold his last year. When I was getting too beat up on my bike we would switch so I could cruise the 'cadillac' back to camp. :) TTR225 - TANK!!! The few women I've known who had these bikes did not keep them long. TTR125L - small but another FUN bike. I'd like to get one as a 2nd bike just to mess around on and use as pit bike because I just enjoy them so much. GG200 - I've only ridden one once but the weight and size was right. Slightly more mellow 'hit' than the KTM. Pampera - fun bike, great maneuverability, will tractor up damn near anything. I know several women who have them and just love them. One of them got a Pampera last year and her riding skills/confidence have improved immensely ever since. A little small for me though and a little underpowered in my opinion, at least with me on it. :confused: Can't really say much about the 250f. I've only ridden one once and I damn near killed myself on it. I know a couple of girls on them though and they just love them. [/QUOTE]
