TimberPig said:I have to disagree. For your size, and budget, your best bang for the buck is going to be in a stroke. A 250 2 stroke, preferably an enduro, but an MX'er will work too with some modifications making it more off road friendly, will be your best bang for the buck. If you go with a 4 stroke, you're going to want to look into a much bigger bike than what Goose is recommending. An XR 400 to 650 would be a good choice in a 4 stroke for you.
For your girlfriend, a KDX 200 is going to be hard to beat given her size and the budget. Otherwise, you're looking at a 250 4 stroke. She could ride an XR 400, but it is somewhat heavy for someone her size to manage, particularly given the fact that women often prefer lighter bikes, due to their generally lower physical strength.

Uhh, I'd hate to buy any used four stroke from you. You do so have to rebuild the engine, just not as often as a two stroke. Two stroke's top ends need to be replaced more often, but are cheaper and easier to do at home (doesn't matter as you said you'd be taking it to a mechanic to do anyways).[on a four stroke] You don't have to rebuild the engine
