First bike need help deciding

1) your physical size- 13 years old 5'3 95lbs (still growing)
2) How physical / aggressive are you ? I play sports somewhat agressive
3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ????? hopefully a little bit of everything
4) Do you have any riding experience?PW 90 raptor 90 but very little
5) Do you think you will race ? no (parents wont let me)
6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? maybe
7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? 4-stroke trail bike (supposed to be good to learn on)
8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? yes yamaha (guy there said ttr 125le fit me perfect)
9) How much do you plan to spend on a bike? 500-2500 will look for used
10) anything else that you think would help form an opinion
ttr 125le, dr-z125l, klx 125l, crf 150f, or something else?

This will be my first bike. I have about $700 saved up so far and am in no rush. I really need help deciding which of the bikes above or different is the best.

Thanx a lot

i think maby a crf100 would be good for you, its not to big, its not to slow, and its a 4 stroke.

RS1441 · Jun 22, 2006

the bike Al2707 mentioned is a good bike to learn on nice power etc nothing to extreme.

The ttr125le would be great for you, or teh crf150f. I got the ttr when i was about 5'1" or 5'2", so it'd be good for you. The crf is a lot heavier than the ttr, but a little more power and a little bigger.

how much slower and smaller is it than the other bikes?

i have a crf 100 and love it. lots of power. it isn't if the bike that is fast it is the rider. you won't have worry about it being fast if it is ridden on the trail. u r not going to be full throttle unless you are a very experienced rider. the crf 100 is a great bike with hardley any maitence.

i also do a little bit of racing on my crf 100 . i like it on the track too. not as good on track as a mx bike but great four stroke trail bike for the track.

i went to the honda dealership by me and sat on the crf 100 i was flat footed with some bend in my knees it was too small

Xtremesports445 · Jul 5, 2006

Thats why u should have read my post and go with either a crf150 or a ttr125, drz125, or klx125.

need4speed007 · Jul 5, 2006

yea i did i agree with you i was referring to the people that recommended the crf 100

get a ttr230 or crf230...theyve got nuts and wont kill you to start out on..plus youll be able to grow into the size

need....where are you located? Bike prices can vary significantly depending on where you live. 700 is in my experience the level of money that often gets you a beat up older bike that sounds like a steal on paper. If you really are looking at spending a bit more, you may be able to get a bike that will hold its value better.
