I'm 5'4, 140lbs and I ride/race an RM 125. Given your size, and experience (or lack thereof) the KX100 is probably a fine bike for you, but if you ever want a 125, you can lower the seat height with a couple pretty minor and cheap modifications - cutting the subframe and cutting the seat foam.

yea i sat on a 125 the other day my tippy toes touched but i mean i can barely fit a 100 so its gunna be hard for me im kinda in the middle...but im more comfortable on the 100 so yea

Welcome to DRN!

Your KX is a nice bike for you right now, as long as you are OK with the power delivery. By that I mean, if it does not scare you, then everything is fine. I'd keep the KX until you want more power.

 

[FoxRacrGurl213]

yea but the only thing is im not too good with the whole 2 stroke thing...

 

[kmccune]

What part of it, gives you poblems?

 

[FoxRacrGurl213]

i havent really gotten the whole clutch thing down but it gets frustrating when u cant reach the ground that well and all

 

[AXE_1967]

If your not comfortable with two strokes you could try a 150f and will carry you real good. + if your new to ridding you'll get less arm pump from a 4 stroke r and not be sacraficing power for the easier ride. Good luck.

 

[kmccune]

The 4 stroke still has a clutch, but the abrupt power could be a challenge, so if it is an issue then a mellower 4 stroke may be the answer. An XR100 or an XR 150, RMZ/KLX125 or a TTR125 may be better the ticket. Hey its all good and we all have different preferences so :ride:

 

[FoxRacrGurl213]

yea i guess ill just have to trial and error on this one and find out which one i like and all....

 

[kmccune]

Yup, If I ever win the lottery :coocoo: I'll find out exactly what kind of bike to rider.. Good Luck
