I think it would be PERFECT!! If you're doing trail riding; this is not a motocross bike but would be perfectly capable to go on a track but you shouldn't buy this if you are into motocross.
I bought a 2004 CRF150F this year as my first bike and I LOVE it!! I am exactly the same size as you (5'8" 120lbs.), I'm a girl and I don't know if you're a girl or not but it desn't really matter. The crf150 would be a great choice. Hope this helps, Ruth
PS it's true that if you're not a beginer you may find the 150 alittle less exciting than a larger bike, I've had mine for 3 months and also ride my dad's CRF230 half the time, but I do feel more in control and comfortable on my 150.

I'm 6'3" 200lbs and I ride my wife's CRF230 occasionally. I ride mostly MX on my YZ250 so I decided to take out the CRF230 too. It handled all the 30'-40' tables just fine as long as I cleared them which wasn't hard to do. I'm 200lbs so the stock suspension does absolutely nothing for me. Your only 120lbs so it should work for you. But it does jump just fine. But I would say strictly a play bike not a race bike.
24 hours ago i just went and sold my CRF230F. :( It was and awesome bike, and i really didn't want to rid of it. Im 150lbs, at 5' 11", and i had a blast riding it. The weight difference between the 230 and the 150 isn't that much, and you will may get bored of the 150's power pretty fast. The 230 is a fun jumping bike, and i have only bottomed it out on a few occasions. The bike can handle anything you throw at it, including trees ( which I found out personally :bang: ). As for the fit, go into your local honda dealer and sit on both models. Hope you enjoy the bike you choose to get, and remember, keep the rubber side down...
See ya in the trails :cool:

If you are strictly trail riding, the 150 would be a good bike, if you are a beginner. That said, if you want to race or do motocross, the KX100 would be a good choice. For trail riding only, you might also consider the CRF230F. It's pretty much the same as an XR200R, which I've found to be a great trail bike, and I've even raced it (and podiumed!).
