Message: [QUOTE="AnneBrooks, post: 218332, member: 21408"] better late, than never! Hi Sharon, and welcome! I am the same height as you, but weigh a *few* more pounds!! I, too suffer from the lack of upper body strength---but I am currently working on that. I know you said you were going to stay on the XR200 for a while, but I thought I would still add my .02 on the TTR225 issue. You definitely DO NOT want to get that bike if you are having trouble picking up the XR200. That thing is a tank! It weighs much more than the XR200. The only positive thing is the electric start. It has the same suspension, low center of gravity and drum brake in the back (disc in front). I had a very hard time picking that thing up EVERY time I dropped it. I rode one for a little over a year, so I am very familiar with it. Good luck and keep us up to date on your progress!! [/QUOTE]
