Message: [QUOTE="BSWIFT, post: 1405877, member: 16802"] As others have already suggested, a KDX 200/220 or a KTM 200 are good overall bikes to learn on and will keep most play riders happy for years to come. I would also recommend the XR 200. These are virtually bullet proof bikes and can easily handle a heavier rider better than a 125. From the experience of other new riders, some outgrow the XR's fairly fast, preferring to move up to more suspension, more power, and better handling. I would really recommend the KDX if you feel you'll advance fairly quickly and the XR if you want to stay more laid back in your riding. Not knocking the XR just that I have seen new riders "outgrow" their XR in short order. [/QUOTE]
