What to Choose?

[minimx]

Hi, I have wanted a Dirt bike since like 3 yrs ago when i went on a friends honda 85. Now i'm almost 15 and want a bike to trail ride, small jumps and to just ride on. I'm 5'4 and about 110 lbs. Whats a good bike to start off on?

Sounds like that CR85 would be just about right in size. Depending on your comfort level with that bike it might be a good choice or perhaps something a bit more mellow like one of the trail bike 125/150F's (TTR/CRF/DRZ/KLX) would be a less expensive, less scary alternative.

less scary? I would like a good starter bike, but man i like SPEED! I got 4 stitches in my knee when i was 10 doing a bmx jump. 4 stitches sounds like nothing i know, but when it hits the bone, you fly off the front handlebars straight to the hard ground, you feel it! Anywhay, i would like a bike w/ somewhat power but not like a KTM yet. So it sounds like a Cr85 eh? I was looking for used ones all over so once i find a way to bribe my dad and get a decent amout of $ it will be good!

now i'm thinkin towards an 85cc mx bike? It would be a good startoff, cheaper, and smaller in size.
