Dirtbike

[stace609]

Well, I'm thinking about getting a little dirtbike. My husband's is too tall for me, so I'm thinking about a ttr 125 or a kx80. the crf150 is nice, but it's more than the 125 and they are pretty new, so I don't think I'll be able to find a cheap used one. I don't want to really switch over to that side, I just wanna learn so I'm going for the least $$$ as possible. Any other ideas? Or anyone local selling? I saw a kx80 for sale on here but It's back in Pittsburgh. Thanks guys.

the ttr 125 sounds good or the xr 100 are nice size too

I know several women who ride the Kaw 100s, they seem to be a good size... you are much braver than me. i cant even ride a BMX bike without crashing all the time. Im much better on 4 wheels than I am on 2!

Aw he11, just go all out and get yourself a YZF 450... they're only 39 + inches at the seat, have about 55 HP stock, and only weigh 220 lbs.

:p J/p... How tall are you and what kind of bike does your husband have?

go for a used ttr125l, there very nice and perfect hieght, and good reliable little bike

IF you wanna get a mx bike id say the kx100 or a cr85 big wheel would do great i have a kx right now im trying to sell due to just getting a 250f but if you want a trail bike id say ttr125l they have disc brakes decent suspension for trail riding and are great lil hill climbers.

55 eh? Last I checked it was just over 45..

How tall are you stace? The KX100/RM100 is a great bike for beginners because it's power delivery is very mild for a 2 stroke. It doesn't hit as hard as a 128 or 80, but has about the peak HP of an 80 (around 21 or 22). In my organization most of the womens class races KX100s.

get u a four stroke they are alot less maintence and eaiser to ride unless u plan on racin or anthing

I'm about 5'5. My husband's is only a crf230 and I can't even reach. lol. Here are the prices on some smaller bikes. Does the price on the ttr125l seem fair? That really is out the door, so I think that's the best I'm gonna do.

the xr 100 is almost 500 buck cheaper and just as good if not better but ima honda gal- my sons xr 100 has proven hondas durability to me i have road the xr 100 and the ttr125 and id take the honda hands down... just my opinion-good luck

[stace609]

my husband suggested the xr100, i know the ttr125l is a little taller so I'm gonna go sit n them both and see how they feel. if the xr is comfortable i probably will go with that. i just don't want that mini bike feel.

[hondafox440]

Have you looked at the CRF150F? The XR100 is a great beginner bike, and fun to ride no matter what. The TTR125L is basically a slightly glorified XR100 - about the same power, a little stiffer suspension, and slightly better breaks, but it is heavier. You should be happy with any of these bikes.

[stace609]

I went to our honda dealer and the yamaha dealer last night. i think I'll end up getting the xr100. the crf150 was like the perfect sitting there, but it's a little tougher in the sand, uneven ground etc. so the 100 is probably better. plus a grand less. the other one i liked was the klx 125 (our honda place has honda kawasaki, and suzuki) but i can't get kawasaki from the cheap place. thanks everyone.:cool:

You know Ricky Carmicheal is only 5'5, or 5'4 :confused: .

If you definitly need something smaller, I would go with the YZ85. Those things are awesome!

my boys xr100 doesnt pull through sand very well
