[QUOTE="bmcd308, post: 1242102, member: 75369"] My gf is about an inch shorter than yours and loves her CRF100F. It is a little small for her by most standards, but she is comfortable on it, and she can pick it up. Do not underestimate the importance of a light bike for her confidence. You GF is not going to want to ride in technical terrain if she is worried that she won't be able to pick the bike back up or manhandle it a little if necessary. As others have said, buy used. Particularly if you get a CRF100F or a TTR125, buy used. These bikes are little tanks, and their engines are reliable. Chances are you won't have any problem out of a reasonably maintained used one. You can then resell in a few months for little or no loss if she decides that she wants a KX450F or no bike at all. And don't try to teach her to ride yourself. The $100 you will save really is not worth it. There are professional teachers for a reason. [/QUOTE]
