so i looked at the seat height, and its the same as my friends CRF230F that i was about half a foot too short to ride. does this mean i am gonna be too small for the 100?
Maybe, maybe not. Also does your friend weight more or less than you. Don't forget that sag setting will come into play, and the KX has much plusher suspension, and the crf230 is an absolute
tank in my opinion. It is about 90 lbs heavier. So, KX100 is 149lbs vs. crf230's 238lbs. :whoa:
In the end, I think everyone needs just a little more info.I suggested the KX if I had to choose between the KTM105 and Kawas' 100; however, depending on what type of riding you do, etc. maybe a good old xr100 might be the ticket? It's has a lower saddle and you can find a good used bike in the price range you had previously mentioned.
The sticky at the top of this forum category would have been an excellent starting point... Try answering some of these questions, it might help everyone help you. :cool:
Try to include the following info in your first post
1) your physical size (both height and weight are important)
2) How physical / aggressive are you ?
3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ?????
4) Do you have any riding experience?
5) Do you think you will race ?
6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work?
7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)?
8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry?
9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike?
10) Do you live in California?
11) Your age?
