[QUOTE="nsxxtreme, post: 1338369, member: 68867"] If you can afford one I highly recommend you try the honda crf150r. My girlfriend is similar size and weight as you. I started her out on a cr80 which is an agressive bike but it really depends on the rider. The dont have much bottom end so they are forgiving with the throttle down low. Once the power band hits hang on!!! She didn't ride much in the power band and 2 stokes don't like that. So I sold that bike (after 2 years of her riding it) and bought her a crf150r. The reasons I recomend this bike 1. Its light it wont crush you if it falls on you. 2. It has a low seat hight you should be able to sit on it flat footed. 3. Its fairly easy to kick start. Bigger bikes take more to start. With short legs you don't have a lot of kicking travel. 4. It has lots of torque so putting around is just fine 5. really smooth throttle response no suprises 6. Lots of power to learn and develop your skills and improve. I ride a cr250r and I actually like riding the girlfriends crf150r it is a really nice bike and is a blast to ride. It is no slouch in the power department. I can ride wheelies in 3rd just by rolling the throttle and I am 180lbs. I really wish the manufacturers had bikes you could try out before buying. You could also look into the crf150f not as nice of a bike as the 150r but depending on how much riding you intend to do it might fit your needs. Hope that helped. My vote is the crf150r I paid $2200 for a 2007 with low hours. [/QUOTE]
