It will push you around just fine, but it might not be too fun on a track. Fun little bikes to whip around and mess around in trails and stuff though.

It probably wouldn't be too bad for you.

I'm 6'1 and rode my friends before he got rid of it. It didn't feel that cramped, but it felt out of control. I feel much more in control on a bigger bike.

But you're smaller so it should be fine.

Honestly though, I would wait for a 125. You'll outgrow the 85 fairly quick.

I'm 5,11 and was 150lbs at the time, this was back in 1983 on a 1980 klx 80, and it wasn't even a mono shock.
