[QUOTE="ARJ1012, post: 1479318, member: 146397"] Hi Everyone! GIRL RIDER I am beginner rider, i have been riding since May 2022, i started out on 2007 Honda 100F. I am 5'4.5 inches and 125 lbs, 24 years old. My boyfriend got me into dirt biking. I wear sizes XS,-S, and a size 0-2, i have been playing sports my entire life so I can pick things up quickly. I outgrew the 100f within 4 months of riding and my boyfriend thought i needed a better front forks. So i got a 2008 KX100x. I am debating if i am too tall for my bike, my arms seem to experience a lot of pressure on the front bars because i am set more forward. After riding my arms are KILLING me. I am still working on my form.. I am planning on getting steg pegz and opening up my handle bars to see if i have more distance between where i sit and the handle bars. I think i am too closed up. Do you think i should stick with the K100?? Also the seat height is perfect, Seat height: [B]34.3 in[/B]. Dry weight: 149.9 lbs. Fuel capacity: 1.5 gal. Wheelbase: 50.8 in. A major spec we looked for when picking out a bike was the weight and seat height, i am NOT that strong and can just barely lift my bike off its side when i crash. 2) How physical / aggressive are you? i am not doing jumps, i go over logs and mostly woods 3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or? Woods, Hair scrambles, enduros 4) Do you have any riding experience? less than a year 5) Do you think you will race? I have never raced, going to do enduros this year 6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? yes i am an engineer and have done mods to my bike, my bf is also an engineer 7) Do YOU have a preference to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? 2 stroke 8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? yes, Yahmaha, Honda 9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike? I spent 1800, 10) Your age? 24 Years old 11) Do you live in California? No New york (upstate NY, farms) [/QUOTE]
