[QUOTE="DougRoost, post: 1204877, member: 23019"] My 14 year old daughter has a KX100 and loves it. My son also rode it before that, until he got too tall (5'10"). For your height and intended use of the bike you should strongly consider a KDX; here's why: A KX100 is a bigger KX85, I guess the same size as a Honda CR85 Expert. It has more torque and less peak HP than the KX85, though, making it a better woods bike (esp. with a 10oz flywheel weight). This means it has the same size wheels and about the same seat height as a TTR-125L or playbikes like that. I'm 5'8" and ride it sometimes and it is a hoot, but I'm cramped on it so don't ride it too long. Of course the problem is the next bike up is a full size, whether that's a 125, 200, 250, etc. You could pick up a 125 pretty cheaply and add a flywheel weight, torque pipe, etc. to it. A better choice would be to get a KDX 200 or 220 since they can be had used in your price range, are much milder than the MX bikes, and are very reliable. Plus, if you get them used they'll often have some nice aftermarket goodies like new pipe, handguards, skid plate, etc. [/QUOTE]
