Message: [QUOTE="rmzaussiegirl, post: 915518, member: 59735"] hi , as a female rider who has been where you are it is a hard decision to make, which bike to get. I am 38 and about the same height and weight as you. I started riding 3 years ago also on a TTR125LW. I loved it and it was a great place to start. As my confidence and ability grew it quickly became apparent that my little yammie just couldn't do what I wanted. My husband and I ride mainly MX now and the bike just didn't have the suspension. My next bike was a CRF230, which I also loved. . It was a great 2nd bike because it was only a little bit taller than the TTR but it had better suspension and more power. It greatly boosted my confidence as a rider and my ability. It is a slightly heavier bike as it is electric start and the battery adds to the weight, but as your confidence grows these things become irrelevent. My husband also liked riding my CRF on enduro tracks every now and then just for fun. He loved that it was so easy to throw around the tight stuff. I had my CRF for just on 12 months before I realised it was time to move on. I now ride an RMZ250. I love my suzuki and it is definitely the last bike. It is heaps lighter than my CRF was and has heaps of user friendly power.The suspension has been set up to suit me, the forks have been lowered slightly to make the front of the bike sit abit lower, as this suits my height. I was lucky when I made my bike choices as I had friends who would let me try their bikes before I bought one. If you can find riders with bikes that you might be interested in and they will let you, get your bum on the bike and have a go. The point to all my waffling on is that you might feel slightly intimidated by the larger bike (YZ250F) now but believe me it wont take long to get used to. If anyone had told me 3 years ago I would eventually be riding a full size motocross bike I would have laughed at them. Now there is no stopping me and my riding ability or lack there of cannot be blamed on the bike. [/QUOTE]
