[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 198881, member: 1650"] You have time to keep looking. at your height you may find the small wheel versions just as acceptable. the 230's are nice, but along with less suspension and about 50-70 lbs more weight than an 85/100 you may not get a performance boost equal to what you seem to think you would like. They are great trail bikes and very capable for a variety of things. for going fast though, none of them have a set of forks that I like. the good thing is that there are lots of dead mx' bikes out there which have decent donor forks. downside for you is that the bike gets taller with that, not shorter. if you can find a kdx200/220 as I think was suggested above, those can be attractive, but no ebutton. xr200 hondas are superb, but unlike the 230 no ebutton either.
