Message: [QUOTE="Michelle, post: 248932, member: 16598"] Welcome aboard & happy birthday. Do you want 2 or 4 stroke? What sort of terrain do you ride? Trails? MX? A mixture? Whatever you do, don't get a TTR225 - from all accounts overweight, underpowered? pigs - I've never ridden nor seen one, but that's been the view I've gotten from all the people who have had them. I'm 5'3" & ride a KDX200, which suits me for my style of riding & terrain (sand) - I'm working on adjusting it for clay/mud. We've put in longer dogbones which has dropped it by 20mm, which is usually fine. Due to lack of fitness/upper body strength, I do suffer a bit dropping it (mainly in the mud/clay), especially when hungry & tired. The GG's can also be lowered easily using the same method as the KDX, but it really depends on whether you want a 2 or 4 stroke. There are also many KTM female riders here, so they'll be recommending them. You'll have a tough decision, but try to ride as many bikes as you can & all of them (I think) are able to be lowered - either by a suspension guru or yourself (depending on the bike - hope that makes sense). Take your time deciding and when you have, go for it ;) Michelle [/QUOTE]
