[QUOTE="Michelle, post: 657416, member: 16598"] Junkman & Mgr's girl (welcome to DRN btw Mgrgirl :)) - check out the big wheel KLX/DRZ125, CRF150 & TTR125L's. All nice & small, easy to ride, light, great beginner bikes. The 04 TTR's have electric start but the CRF is slightly taller. Check out some of the older posts around but I think they're probably your best choices for starters. Start standing as soon as you feel comfortable. Get a short piece of terrain & ride around sitting, then ride around standing & see which feels best. I got my TTR for riding a ****ty forest (for confidence) & to hopefully help me with sitting down too much. Last week I was timing myself around a course to see whether I was faster sitting or standing on the KDX. I tried standing first (had to sit for two corners) and then when I was "allowed" to ride it sitting, somehow I just had to force myself to & would stand as quickly as I could. Funny how the time was about the same - will try that next time sitting & then standing, but I'm starting to stand more than sit these days. Good luck, hope that helps a bit & let us know how you go.
