It sounds like you may be a little cramped on an 80/85 at 5'10" tall.

It is small for you... if you go look at one look at some of the other bikes too.

Go for a 125 two stroke and you'll be fine. You can pick them up a dime a dozen these days.

Im about 5'9-5'10 and im on a yz125, the power might not be their good enough for your weight and everything, but the suspecntions been beefed up so your not going to compress it by sitting on it, 2 strokes are cheaper now so maybe you can find a yz125 ,,,,,,,, if it helps i just bought a 00 yz125 in basically mint condiction for 1000, but i got a good deal the guy needed to move it.
