[QUOTE="bratt, post: 693470, member: 29103"] I am 5'7" and I fit comfortably on an 01 CR125 and an 03 yz250f. My first bike was the 01 cr125 and at that time I didn't know anything about dirtbikes, all I knew was I didn't want to start on something I would have to sell in a couple of months because I had outgrown it. I never felt intimidated or discouraged by the bike or felt like it was "too much" bike. I switched to the yz250f two years later and it suites my riding style much better. If I had known anything about bikes when I started I would have gone straight to the yzf. I am extremely happy with the bike, the power delivery, and the handling, but I also primarily ride/race MX. I have ridden the yzf in woods and on trails and it is a handful. The stiff suspension that I love on the track tends to be a bit harsh in the trails and the snappy throttle keeps you on your toes in the trees. I recently got the chance to borrow a kTm 250 RFS for a trail ride and I was really impressed. If I could afford to have both a "woods" bike and an MX bike the RFS would be my "woods" bike choice hands down. I can't say enough good things about that bike. Hope this helps a little. Sounds like your gf is aggressive enough to handle learning on a larger bike if she chooses. [/QUOTE]
