[QUOTE="squeaky, post: 1204442, member: 40666"] If you're willing to make the mods to a TTR125 once you start to become a better rider then I'd go with it. Just make sure you get the TTR125L - you don't even need the e-start, it starts pretty easily. I bought mine with the e-start but I don't have it anymore due to the new motor. Plus without the e-start it's a lighter bike. At your height you would, in my experience, need to be on a shorter bike. I cannot ride a full size bike in any sort of difficult terrain at 5'5" tall. I tried riding a WR250 and it's too much both height and weight wise. Granted, the CR150F is lighter, it's still tall. There are so many things you can do to the TTR if you get bored of it. For example, I rode my bike with the new motor in it this weekend - this motor has 24 ounces shaved off of the flywheel, which made it much peppier, and it is also ported (the intake I believe?). This makes it a new bike - and very fun! Plus if you wanted to eventually you can put YZ85 forks on it and a BBR triple clamp, which brings the bars up a bit. I LOVE my TTR and I've put it through some pretty rough terrain with no problems. I also don't need to be WFO all the time on it. All in all I've heard complaints about some of the Honda's because they're too tall for shorter riders and as far as I understand it's a bit pricey to have the suspension, etc. brought down for your height. Just my $0.02. Hope it helps! [/QUOTE]
