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.

I'm almost 5'8 got long legs for a girl (least that's what Jeeps says) Not huge, but not small either, in the weight dept between 125 and 130. Sugestions for my size???

Cuttle pm me when you get out my way if you want. BTW waving now as I pass your neck of the woods on 26
