Question

Is a 200cc dirtbike too big for a 5'4 teenager?

Answer 1

i dont think it matters on how tall you are. i think it is if you are strong enough to handle the bike

Answer 2

In the states there is only one 200cc dirt bike that I know of and that's the KTM 200XC. It is too big for someone 5'4" unless they are an experienced rider. Any other 200cc that I know of will be Chinese junk which I wouldn't recommend to anyone of any size.

Answer 3

No.

im 13 and i have a 250.

just depends if you can handle it.

Answer 4

i think that it all depends on how experienced you are. if you know what youre doing and can control a dirtbike, then go for it, but if it's your first time, then id go for something a little less powerful.

Answer 5

No its not. When you sit on it, it might feel to big but its not. You don't want to be flat footed but you don't want to be bobbing back and forth either. It should be a perfect fit for you depending on what your planning on doing with it.

Answer 6

I guess that would depend upon what use you are intending to put the 200cc to.  If you are just going to have fun on it you should be able to manage.  You don't say whether you can touch the ground while sitting on it or not.  If this is an issue you could always trim the seat down with an electric knife.  Take the cover off first and neatly trim a piece from the top of the seat and then replace the cover and staple it back in place.  If you have been careful you can use the piece you have taken out to  put back later when you have grown.

Answer 7

it depends on wich type and if its four stroke or two

Answer 8

Not at all,200 cc bikes are great bikes

Answer 9

I don't think that 200cc is too big. I think what you'd have to worry about more is the height of the seat. Make sure you can sit on it and put your feet on the ground (both at the same time)

Answer 10

no i was 5'3 or 5'4 when i rode a kx125 and there the same size
