Yep, my friend is about the same height/weight as you, except he's probably like 160...and the 85 is still zippy, he can keep up with me in the trails if we are just messin' around...maybe a CR125 too...

A CR85 Expert will suite you just fine. Those things had hella power! Actually, if you are not careful, they WILL put the front wheel in the sky and your butt on the ground! Since it doesn't have a power valve, the powerband hits very hard and very all-of-a sudden. But, if you are already familiar with that, then thats no big deal.

My wife actually rod it. She is about the same height and it fit her perfect. B ut the power was just too much. She was too afraid of getting put on her @ss. 4stroke is more her style.
