Message: [QUOTE="RM_guy, post: 1476503, member: 20652"] Welcome to DRN! Your reasons for leaning towards a 2 stroke are spot on. Easier maintenance and the fun factor...plus parts will be cheaper. For you size and weight I'd recommend a 250 over a 125. A 125 wold work but it would also be work to ride it to keep it in the power band. You will have a lot more fun on a bike that gear selection isn't as critical. You can put a flywheel weight on a 250 to help it chug along in the slow stuff and adjust the power valve to tame the hit. No throttle tamer needed. I sounds like you have some bike experence so it's not like you think the throttle is a light switch. As far as a 19" vs 18" rear wheel, I rode for years in the woods with a 19" wheel. There are plenty of tire choices out their. It won't be as compliant as an 18" but there are 19" sticky cheater tires available. Let us know if you have anymore questions! Happy hunting! [/QUOTE]
