i think you'd might be happier on a 110. i've seen guys over 6 feet on a fiddy, but you're even taller (than the guys i know), and would really have to fold yourself up on a fiddy.

If you put the typical "pit" mods than no. I am 6'2 and on a stock CRF I am fine but a tad cramped. On a modded CRF (swingarm mod) than it is perfect. I am getting ready to have a custom CRF 50 "pit bike" built.

you could also get a 150 to

BOOO!

but really, a crf50 will be way too small in stock form... go check one out in your local area that has mods done to it, (including bar kit).... if its too small, then check out a KLX or DRZ 110.... those are quite a bit larger

If you want a mini or pit bike then get a mini. If you want a full or mid size than look at those. I have a CRF 250R for real riding but love running around a track on a modded pit.

a CRF 150 or something else is good for just a backyard. but the DRZ/KLX 110s are funner to putt around on and mod out

You should get a 110. I have an xr70 but the only problem is there is very little aftermarket. Your best bet is with a 110.

I weigh 195 and stand 5'11'' and I comfortably ride a 70. But a guy that I ride with is a little bigger and taller and he said if the prices were comparible he also prefered the 110. No matter what you get you can make it work with some of the cool knowledge you can get from TT!! Rippin on small bikes Rules!

The bike you posted the link for would probably fit you ok but thats about the only thing that would work well with it for you. I would reccomend staying away from the ebay chinese bikes because they have a reputation of breaking easily and replacement parts and tech support are a rarity with those things. If you want a 50 style bike that is already built, go with a more reputable company like xtreme, pitster pro, sdg, etc. Dont forget, the process of building a mini is half the fun!

110 for sure. especially if you are an adult...I have both and the 50 has exhaust and a few other things and can still barely pull me out of corners, where my 110 is stock and pulls great.
