[QUOTE="timelinex, post: 188305, member: 2991"] Thanks for all the replies guys, you have given me some things to think about. I'm surprised to hear all you guys say the 125 bikes are a handfull! I thought the smaller the easier (I'm a newb when it comes to dirt biking, but several years ago I rode a cbr600rr for a half a year or so, so I'm not totally new to actually riding). Is it because they are super light and get thrown around or something? I found a local tw200 that seems pretty nice. Is that something that would be nice for her? It looks like its got the lowest seat height for a DS bike. I also see a ttr125 and ttr230 selling locally. The 230 seat height is 34"+ so I just think it will be too tall for her. When we were at the dealership, she sat on a bunch of honda dirt bikes and I dont remember the model for sure, but the first one that she could put her legs on the ground on (from largest to smallest) was the 125cc. I would like to get a wr250 as it seems like EVERYONE recommends this as one of the best, as long as budget isn't an issue. However I don't see any used ones selling locally. So one of the big things that I really see that most people agree on is to probably stay away from a DS and just get a dirt bike and convert? Are they really that much better for off road? [/QUOTE]
