I got into dirt biking to improve my road racing skills back in '01. I found it so much fun that I quit roadracing and started MX'ing. Yes, it can help your street riding quite a bit, esp. dealing w/ low traction situations.
Your height is prob. the most important determining factor as to what would make a good beginner bike, but CRF230's seem to be popular w/ woman beginners. They're a bit heavy, but easy to ride, reliable, and have e-start. A KTM 200 would also be good to look @ if it fits.
