1) your physical size (both height and weight are important)
2) How physical / aggressive are you ?
3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ?????
4) Do you have any riding experience?
5) Do you think you will race ?
6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work?
7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)?
8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry?
9) How much do you plan to spend on a bike?
10) anything else that you think would help form an opinion

Good luck - if you're looking for a 4 stroke motocrosser for $2000 or under, you're taking a big chance on the possibility of motor problems . . . It's possible to find one for that price that's been maintained well, but I don't think they're very common.
However, if all you want is a 4 stroke trail bike like the XR or CRF, then look into something like a CRF230 or TTR 230. They're a bit bigger, heavier, and have more power than what you have rode. Another option might be an XR200 . . .
If you want an MX bike for $2000 or under, then you may need to look for a 2 stroke 125 or 250. Even a 125 2 stroke has 2.5 to 3 times the horsepower of a CRF 150 and the suspension is worlds better on 2 stroke or 4 stroke MX bikes.

I know, i've ridden a KX85 and it was crazy.
What would be a good 4 stroke MX bike then? Im set on 4 strokes.

I think you missed that point that you're gonnna need another grand if you set on 4 strokes. Why a 4 stroke by the way?
