[QUOTE="FruDaddy, post: 1171881, member: 63076"] You are the same height as RC, who had to have his bikes lowered. And while you will grow, are you sure that you are ready for the huge jump in power and handling that a big bike will provide? Some things that I know to be true: My friend, who owns a TTR125L, rode my KX250 and immediately realized how poorly the TTR turns. My son, who rides a KX65, complained about how poorly the TTR turned. At 200 lbs, I was outrunning a 145 lb man on a TTR125L while riding my son's KX65. Thats right, trail bikes are that heavy and underpowered. Given that, I tell you this; jumping off of a TTR125 and onto a 250F is huge. Since you have expressed such an interest in racing, I believe putting you on the track on a big bike in any class other than D/beginner would be completely irresponsible. The power that you will encounter may be more than you are prepared to handle, despite what you may think. Good judgement is not a common trait in your age group. If you were my son, I would not even think about giving you a big bike yet. Of course, if you were my son, I would be more aware of your riding ability. If I were your father, I would seek out a used 85 and put you on it. If you showed me that you could handle it well, then I would put you on a 125 in about a year, and you would spend a year on it before I would even consider the 250F. [/QUOTE]
