Hi,
Ok My Height is 5'3
I weigh about 135lb
Im Moderately aggresive.
No Riding Experience (Just with Quads and PocketBikes)
I Will ride some Dunes but mostly Trail and I love Racing (Not Motorcross?
I Will Not race motorcross. Just mostly for Fun
I Dont care wich Brand, Just let them be reliable.
I have a Kawasaki,Suzuki,Honda, and Yamaha Dealer By My House
Dont want to spend more than $4,000

Will the KX100 Do the Job? I Really like to "Punch It" On bikes and Love Speed. I'm Not Stupid. I Never Roden a Dirtbike Just 110CC Pocketbikes. I was also looking at these Lights: 05 CRF150F (Will This be faster than any 85cc 2 smoke?),Suzuki RM125 (Love This Bike,but heard some complaints that Suzuki "Sucks"
Kawasaki KX100 (This Bike Looks awesome but heard they break real Easy)
Thanks for Help and look forward to your replies!

K well, first of all i suggest KX100. Since i am almost exactly ur specs, 5'2, 135 pounds, just i have much more expeirience with motocross since i've been racing since 11. anyways, last year i bought my 06' KX100 for 4200, so im guessing its in ur price range. And a 125 is definatley to big for you unless you cut the foam off your seat. An 85cc is also good, but you will easily grow out of it. The KX100 by far, fits you the best, with the higher seat and more travel in the suspension.

The Crf150 is a good bike, my neighbor has it and i sometimes I bring him with me to the track. If you like 4 strokes, then go for it, but if your looking for more acceleration and speed, and railing those berms in the powerband go for the KX man.

BTW! KX100's dont break easily if you take care of it like a normal human being:P i've had mine for a full season, and participated in one supermini race, and its wroking perfectly!
Anyways if i were you id go with the KX100.
Hope to see you at teh track,
Jordan

TheCRF150F is a trail bike, like the XR. The CRF150R is a full race MX bike. They are totally different like night an day.

The CRF150F is designed to be a trail bike, a CR YZ KX or RM85 are MX race bikes. They are designed for the track, lighter and more suspension.

You have been missinformed. Ask these people what SPECIFICALLY is negative about these bikes. I doubt they can come up with anything.

The KX100 is a great mini MX bike. Great suspension, light and awsome power. If you keep a bike clean and well maintained it will last a long time. If you dont take care of your machine, it WILL break.

a KX100 would suit you pretty well for the present, but you could wait till you grew 2 in. and get a 125, i was 5'4'' when i bought my KX125, it took some getting used to like any bike, but i can know ride it pretty hard. the CRF150F will not be competitive at all with any 85 or a KX100, its designed for trails, but the CRF150R was made by Honda just this year to compete with 85s, but theyre much more expensive. BTW: the first poster responded saying that he payed 4200 for his KX100, he lives in Canada, so dont worry, you wont have to pay near that much. go to cycletrader.com and evilbay and you should be able to find some anywhere between $1500-$2500
