cyclepsych0 Posted August 24, 2006 i'd go with a 125. they're not abruptly powerful. and their size better suits your height! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MX528 Posted August 24, 2006 Thanks for the quik responce! The olny thing holding me back from the 125 is the power, being ive never rode a dirtbike id be kind of scared getting on to such a powerfull bike.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyclepsych0 Posted August 24, 2006 it's really all in your throttle control. i think an 85 is a bike you would outgrow quickly. both physically and in your ability. the power of a 125 is nothing to be intimidated by. you pretty much have to keep it pinned and in the upper rpm's to get race speed out of it. as long as you take it slow and control that right hand, you'll have no problem learning on a 125!
