Message: [QUOTE="nikki, post: 911420, member: 18126"] As another female rider, 25, 5'5" and 140 lbs., I think the KX100 would be a great bike for you over the TTR125, if you've decided that a 125/250F szied bike is too tall/heavy for you. I've always been a big fan of the KX100 as it's a little taller than an 80 (extra 2" on the tires) and has a little more motor than an 80. The KX100 power is also pretty smooth and manageable for a 2-stroke. My dream bike would be a KX100 chassis with a 250F motor, especially for riding in the woods ;) For your questions: -How hard is the shift from 4-stroke to 2-stroke? (since I've never been on one) - if you can go from your TTR125 to your guy's 250F, you should have no problems adjusting to a KX100 as it's a smaller 2-stroke with a fairly smooth motor. -Do I need to be worried about looping it like some people say? - again, if you don't "loop out" or ride crazy wheelies on the YZ 250F, you'll be fine on the KX100. You just have to be smooth with the clutch and throttle. -Will it make trail riding less fun? - nope, with an extra tooth or two on the rear sprocket and maybe a heavier flywheel, the KX100 has proven to be an awesome trail bike. -Is this a good bike for me? - Yes, my personal opinion is that you'll be happy and have fun with it. :ride: [/QUOTE]
