well i no some of the people here are really into dirt bikes and yea so... im 14 and 5,5 what would be a good bike i want a 125 and ride it 4 2 yeasr then race it.... or should i wait 2 get a 125?

[Hondadudeehhhh]

im also 14 but im 5'9''. 14 is a weird age for kids and dirt bikes. Its really hard to decide between an 85 and 125 if you are kind of small. I would say dont get an 85 because you will probably get rid of it in a few months and you will have a 125 or 250f until you are 16 or 17. Id go with the 125. I know 13 year olds who ride 125's and they do alright.

Where you want to race, a 125 would be a good way to go. I like playing on dirtbikes, but I don't like riding anything bigger then a 125, (15, 5'10" 172lbs) If I bought a dirt bike I would buy a 80, beacause I know wont hurt myself as bad, and almost anyone can ride it.

yea im not going 2 race it 4 a year or 2 and year itl be a 250f bc i ride alot of trails and pits but physical size how tall would i bee b4 i should get 1... ii dont want a 80 bc my friend has 1 and its way 2 small 4 me...

If you are going to use it as a trail bike, go for some more CC. I hate trail riding dirtbikes, I just like to screw around, I'll get down to business with the quads

125 might be alittle big for u but your gonna grow into it, i would go 125 no doubt, especially if 85's feel a tad small

I say 80. If you can master and use every inch of power and suspension of that 80 then you'll be king on a 125. Starting out small teaches you to use power better.

I just got a crf250r and I love it.... I also have a yz125. Im 5'8 and I still have trouble getting on sometimes but you will probably be fine. You will just need help getting on sometimes. If you want a real reliable 125 and all around bike try a crf250r or crf250x. The new 05 yz125s are good too and the rm125s have always been realling great bikes
