[QUOTE="Porstala F9, post: 750133, member: 44905"] Whats with the bikes you say you own in your profile? Anyway, to start off, I am 15 years old, 5'5-5'6 or so, and 115 lbs, and I ride on a KX 125 just fine, so dont be scared about getting a big bike. Your giving us pretty odd descriptions. Trail Riding and doing jumps and racing are pretty much opposites of each other. If you have never ridden a bike before, an XR 100 would deffinetly be a good choice. But you WILL outgrow it rather quickly to a point where you may just want to skip over it and go with a bigger and better bike. My suggestion would be to look into an 80/85 or maybe a KX/RM 100. The 100cc 2-strokes have tons of tourqe for nice low end power and come equipped with powervalves to make for smoother powerband which would all come in handy at both trails and tracks. Kids around here start on mini mx'ers all the time and they learn fine and are jumping them and getting their front tires in the air all the time, so you will adapt to it very quickly, and it will last you much longer than an XR. I had an XR 80 for a while, and while it deffinetly was a good bike to learn on and everything, If I could do it again, I would have gotten an 85 then to learn on, and then still got my 125 when I did.
