[QUOTE="soboy, post: 711736, member: 49922"] I am also 5'8 and 200, and returned to dirt bikes this year after many years of not riding. I started on a Yamaha 60 in 1973, outgrew that and rode a Yamaha DT100 for a while, then got into street bikes. The biggest problem you are going to have is seat height. I test sat all the new bikes, and the only 2 that fit were the Honda crf230F and the Yamaha ttr225. I rode the Honda on the dirt, it was great - plenty of power and suspension for my tastes. I bought an old Yamaha DT250 - 1978 monoshock model, in excellent shape, because I love the bikes from the 70's, and I wanted a dual sport. Good luck, and try the 2 I mentioned if you are looking to get a modern dirtbike. [/QUOTE]
