[QUOTE="76GMC1500, post: 1157544, member: 73139"] Big and mellow and you're looking at a CR500? There is nothing at all mellow about that bike. When I think big and mellow, I think DR400 or something like that. Most of us wouldn't consider 5'9" short. I'm 5'10 and feel too tall for my bike in some situations. From the sounds of it, you don't have much riding experience. The truth is, full-sized dirtbikes will feel tall between anybodies legs until you get used to it. If you're going to be riding the desert and are strong enough to muscle around a real bike, consider an XR650R. The motor is tame, especially in stock trim. They fly once you unplug them, but they're still very tame and manageable. Another point about desert riding and bike height, you never need to touch the ground in the desert and you need as much suspension travel as possible, so a taller bike is usually better. [/QUOTE]
