Bike seat size?

Question

hi I'm 14 and am 5'8 120lbs and im currently getting a new bikes.Got rid of my 110cc and am either going to get a 200 or 250cc but they reason i'm asking this,is because is the 250 to big for me?250=36 inch seat and the 200=30inches? which one should i get?

Answer 1

At 5' 8 you would be fine on a 250cc.  

Go to a dealership and sit on a few bikes and see how they feel.  

You may need to have the suspension adjusted for your weight and that would make a difference to how the bike feels.

My youngest son is just 5ft 7 tall and he races a crf250r every weekend.  He also only weighs about 49kilos which is very light (lighter than you)

Answer 2

I think either bike is fine for you because you could always shave the seat down by taking the seat off the bike, then removing the seat cover, shave the foam part of the seat, and put the seat cover back on with a staple gun.

Answer 3

What 200 are you referring to? I am not aware of any modern 200 that is a race bike except the KTM which has 38.78" seat height. At your height you should be fine on  250.

Answer 4

go 4  the 125.
