[QUOTE="nikki, post: 1224186, member: 18126"] I think a CRF150R (expert model, 2" bigger wheels) would be a great choice for the wife's first bike for MX riding. We have quite a few girls racing them locally in both MX and hare scrambles. I personally think the 4-strokes (150F, 250F) are MUCH easier for beginners to ride, compared to the lightswitch on/off power of a 2-stroke (85, 105, 125). You can use less clutch, and the power is smoother. Plus at 5'6" a CRF150R-E will fit her nicely for a first bike. She will be able to touch with both feet, but it shouldn't feel too small (at first). Plus it's lighter and a little easier to start than, say, a bigger/taller/heavier 250F, where she would have a hard time touching the ground with both feet. The maintenance will be similar to your CRF450 as far as checking valves, etc. [/QUOTE]
