[QUOTE="Delerious, post: 1355025, member: 107932"] Hey there, I have been lurking around this forum for a couple weeks now reading threads and what not and looking at other user's opinions. I have very minor experience with dirt bikes. I have ridden a friends about 10 years ago before he sold his... I have been wanting to pick up a bike for a while now, and finally I have the re$$ources to do so :) First my profile: I am a very short guy, so I guess that is what is limiting me mostly. I am 5'5 and 165lbs, 26 years old with very minor experience. The bike I am looking at is the yamaha tt-r230. The cycle shop locally deals in yamaha, kawasaki, suzuki and KTM. I really want a 4 stroke, as I am just looking for something for casual/trail riding...no real jumps or anything crazy, just fun. Anything in the $4000 or below range is best :P I did go sit on a few bikes on a quick lunch break the other day and plan to talk with a dealer a bit tomorrow on pricing and opinions, but I want some opinions from someone who doesn't just see dollar signs ;p as an incentive to sell. I sat on the ttr-r230 and the ttr-125e. To be honest, the 125 felt more safe as I was on my tippy-toes, but not by an extreme amount. I also sat on the 230, and it was much greater, that I would need it lowered by an inch or so to feel comfortable. Is this something the dealer could do easily, or would I be stuck with a 125? I am looking for something that I won't be bored of in a month, but something I won't kill myself on :P Thanks -Scott [/QUOTE]
