KX100 OR AN 85 BIG WHEEL, 125's WILL Be too large for you height.

I disagree - a 125 bike might be too tall for your WEIGHT, but you can soften the suspension, cut the seat foam, cut the subframe.

I ride a 2002 RM 125 - 5'4", 140 lbs. It's taller than I would like, but I can ride it. The only problems I really have are on starts - can only get one foot down - and on off camber sections in the woods . . .

If you going to grow any, I'd go for a 125 or 250f, adjust the suspension and cut the seat.

if your good on an 85, you might want to consider a cr 85 expert. its a 85 with bigger tires and bigger swingarm. im 5'4'' and only 100lbs. and im pretty good on a 125(came off a cr 80). or, get a 100 and maybe a 105.
