I've been dying to maybe start riding dirt bikes. I have no knowledge what so ever about them... What would be a good bike (Preferably Yamaha) for a girl about 100 pounds? Please help.. General bike knowledge would totally rock. Any help is needed.

  1. If you just want to try trail bike riding a good place to start would be the ttr125, klx125 or the crf150f.  You don't say how tall you are so those bikes would be good for someone up to around 5ft 5 any taller and you may be too tall for them.  A good idea would be to go to a motorbike dealer and sit on a few bikes to see what suits for size.  Steer away from any bikes designed for racing if you have no intention to race, but keep in mind the bikes I have mentioned are not designed to race so are not suited to jump with.


  2. i would say a 2008 TTR110E. some info:Convenient electric starter for effortless starting.



    Big fun for the whole family in an all-new package, the YZ-styled four-stroke-powered TT-R110 begs to be ridden by everyone from bigger kids to adults.



    A seat height of only 26.4 inches makes this one accessible to most riders, but 7.1 inches of ground clearance and great suspension at both ends mean it can go places.



    Class-exclusive four-speed auto-clutch transmission has an easily accessible gear for nearly any terrain.



    Engine



    Torquey/powerful 110cc air-cooled SOHC four-stroke powerplant is tuned for maximum off-road performance in a wide range of trail conditions.



    Compact hemispherical combustion chamber with 9.3:1 compression produces max torque at 4000 rpm, max horsepower at 7500 rpm.



    Four-speed gearbox with automatic clutch has the right gear for wherever you ride.



    Convenient electric starter for effortless starting.



    CDI ignition system is ultra-reliable and never needs maintenance.



    Automatic cam chain tensioner means minimal maintenance and longer engine life.



    Easy-access, tool-free air filter adds extra convenience during maintenance.



    Lightweight exhaust system features quiet, USFS-approved spark arrestor.



    Chassis/Suspension



    Steel backbone frame ties steering head and swingarm pivot together via a straight line, with the engine mounted at three places for optimum strength and high ground clearance.



    31mm fork with high-tech internals including a damper valve with oil lock provides excellent damping, great bottoming resistance and 4.5 inches of smooth travel.



    Monocross rear suspension pivoting on a strong, 12mm shaft, along with a gusseted steel swingarm, provide excellent rear wheel control through 4.3 inches of travel.



    Die-cast aluminum top triple clamp helps provide light, precise handling and looks great, too.



    26.4-inch seat height and 7.1 inches of ground clearance help inspire confident performance on rugged trails.



    Front and rear drum brakes deliver strong, dependable stopping power.



    14-inch front and 12-inch rear wheels inspire great rider confidence by keeping the seat low and the steering light.



    Knobby tires offer superb grip and exceptional wear.



    Additional Features



    Long, YZ-style seat is low, comfortable and allows easy rider movement.



    Team Yamaha inspired colors, graphics and front and side number plates create styling similar to larger YZ lineup.



    Large, folding, cleated footpegs provide excellent footing even in wet or muddy conditions.



    Key-type ignition switch deters unauthorized riding.

  3. I started off on a ttr125le, and it was great.

  4. start with a playbike, not a serious motocross bike. the Yamaha ttr is a good start as is the Kawasaki klx140. check them out at a local dealer and have a seat on one for fit. there are usually clubs or local groups that ride together so ask at the dealer about them so you can get together with other riders when learning, Have fun.
