um at 5'10 and on a pw 80! man! but if you want some thing easier to control, look for an 85 or a 100... you will get used to the power but it will be alot more then your pw.

Well it will be a massive change in power but that is likely what you should be looking at or something more trail oriented like a CRF230F.

That would be excellent for you, but they do require some maintainence. It would also be a big jump in power too.

My first bike I ever rode was an RM125, when I was 19, with no instructions from anybody. It is a great bike to start with. If you are even mildly athletic, you'll be fine. You are in almost the same situation because a PW80 doesn't even really count as a dirt bike.
