[QUOTE="ShoujoKakumei, post: 1236018, member: 80227"] I'm a bit shorter than you are (5'5"-ish), and I just bought my first bike, and I'm also a total beginner, so I know how you feel: :coocoo: I ended up buying a KLX125 - I can touch the ground comfortably and the weight isn't too heavy for me to pick up from the ground by myself... It's a four-stroke trail bike, and I've been told maintaining four-strokes is harder than two-strokes, but I have some mechanically-inclined friends and a service manual. I'm on the heavy side, though, so the suspension isn't going to put up with me doing anything too crazy. I also rode my friend's KX100 for a little while and actually really liked it as well (was considering buying that from her), but it was sort of small - not too bad, but I like the extra couple inches on the bike I ended up getting. The upsides were that it felt a little lighter and the suspension definitely felt better. Look around and sit on a few different sizes of bikes before you decide for sure what you want. I'm pretty happy that I did. [/QUOTE]
