[QUOTE="srellis, post: 657948, member: 31592"] Having been on a TTR125L for a year now, I had the chance to race a CRF150 two weeks ago. I wouldn't consider the CRF150 a "competition race" bike. I could tell a slight increase in power in the CRF over my TTR. I didn't notice that much of a height difference. What was noticable to me is the seat to foot peg measurement was two inches greater on the CRF. This made it more comfortable for me to jump. I'm 5'3" also and a few years older than 14! In the long run, I think [I]I [/I]would have been better off with a CRF150. They weren't available when I was shopping. If you are set on racing, I think you should look at a 2 stroke 85. The 4 strokes that are available in the mini-cycle size range just aren't made to race. They are "recreational" bikes. If all you want to do is putt around. I think the CRF150 will fit you for a longer period of time than the TTR. One thing I have found while bike shopping is that the bikes on the showroom floor are so stiff in the suspension that they are very deceiving. I tried to get on a brand new CR125 and could only touch with one foot. Later at the track I was able to get on a bike that had the suspension set correctly for a rider my size. I was able to touch with the balls of both feet. [/QUOTE]
