[QUOTE="justalonewolf007, post: 1282611, member: 77294"] How tall are you? I am pretty sure you're taller than me (5'2"), and if so, your frame size is going to be way too big for tha that bike. You may be used to riding the smaller motorcycles, but really, it's just not that great of an idea. When you are cramped on a bike, you cannot manuver it effectively, and your rides will most likely be far more uncomfortable. I've seen quite a few people on bikes that are too small for them, and often, they get hurt. What is the terrain like where you'll be riding? If you end up wanting to play in any gravel pits, the 150 will basically sit and spin, if that. Height also makes a difference. If you are completely folded up on the bike, it can end up being downright dangerous, even if you are riding around at slow speeds. The 150F will be undersprung and underpowered. The frame is too small, and the bike is[I][B]NOT[/B][/I] meant for someone your size. You may have to pay a lot more in parts due to faster wear and tear on the bike caused by your size. My CR80, (with the racing suspension which is more performance based than the 150F suspension) has a top weight capacity of 175 pounds. You could get a 230, and do okay on it, as it is able to handle someone your size. Bigger wheels make the bike far more stable and less "jumpy" at any speed. The suspension is also more set for your weight. However, it probably will limit your riding abilities, even if you aren't going to race. It is very heavy for it's power. As Patman very wisely said, get a 250F or X. You can still have fun, and you won't burn up your bike. It's weighs only a few pounds heavier than the 230, but the power is so much better and more versitile. You won't be left wishing that you'd gotten a bigger bike, and it will last you as long as you want! [/QUOTE]
