[QUOTE="nikki, post: 148766, member: 18126"] I've been 5'5" for years! And when I started riding in '98 - I started on a YZ 80. Then in fall of '98 it was time for my first new bike... my choice was between a KX 80 or 100 - and I went with the 80 because I thought the 100 would have to race with 125's (didn't know there was a open women's class). Anyways - I rode the '99 KX 80 for a few months and loved the smooth power compared to the YZ 80. The KX had nice bottom end and really boosted my confidence - but was just too small! So in the beginning of '99 - I moved up to a 125. The 125 fits me pretty good - but two small complaints... CORNERS and the height/weight of the bike. For years - people have been telling me that a KX 100 would be PERFECT for me. I finally rode my friend's last year and felt REALLY confident and fast on it. Corners that I would idle around on my 125 - I was able to hold the gas on around the whole way with the 100. And the power was actually pretty similar to my RM 125 - very smooth, had nice bottom end power, and kept pulling pretty good too. And the suspension was pretty nice too. Only problem - after being a 125 pilot for 2 years - it just felt so small. I felt hunched over, cramped in the leg/knee area, and just wasn't sure. But - man could I turn those corners aggressively!! I think every time I dropped my bike over in a corner (bad habit in the past few years - my AWESOME MX-Tech suspension and a little more experience has helped me finally shake it some this year) I said to myself [B]"That's it! I'm getting a KX 100"[/B] :confused: I still would like to get one - ride both it and my 125 on the same tracks for a few months, check lap times, see what I feel more comfortable on, and go from there. Too bad their isn't a bike in between the 100 and the 125 :) [/QUOTE]
