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

Get whats comfortable. . .

Flat footing is WAY over rated. . .

It's only over rated until you have to turn around on an off-camber dead end on the side of a cliff.

Then it kinda comes in handy.

I rode diret with some buddies for the first time last weekend... that shit was fucking FUN.

Did a lot of woods and rocky technical stuff.

I was borrowing a 22 year old yammy 2smoker... thing went pretty damn good though!

I'm hoping to pick up a dirty toy on the cheap and some gear as long as it doesn't hamper my finances for roadracing.

Dirt, rocks, logs, ledges, I'll ride whatever, really

Here is my old bike. I miss her dearly. Notice the number.... When you saw me on it, you better call 911.

Nice dude... I used to ride stock and mod trials...

the non-motorized kind

Just sold my stock trials bike about 6 months ago... the thing was nasty, I built it pretty nice.
