[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 220043, member: 3959"] Being careful and starting small is never a bad idea. Safety first. But if it were me, I would be very unhappy if I bought something too small and was bored with it in 3 months. But I'm weird like that. I would think the frame of the 85 would be too small for you. Here is my recent experience with this decision - My son just turned 13. He's 5-6, and 115 lbs. Been riding a couple years now. He just came off a CR80, and today he spent the day at the track on his new (to him) 2001 YZ125. At first I was a little concerned that it would be too big, fast, and aggressive for him. Totally not. He rode better than he ever has. As of now he's got about 5 hours on the bike and I am quite happy with the decision to put him on it. Respect the bike and you should be fine. Just my .$02. [/QUOTE]
