I dun mean to be rude here...but if you are standing at 1.58m tall...I guess you are gonna have to lean to a side when you com to a stand-still...it's that a bit inconvinent?...get something you can handle from my point of view...

 

Juz my 2 cents worth...

[ArWeN]

not just the inconvenience but it could be a potential danger when you have to stop suddenly...

[EJ]

XR125 are pretty low..not too powerful n generally easy to maintain.

 

i have riding kakis, girls who are about ur height riding KTM200s, n even KTM400s. if u wanna go for more power i recommend the WR200. the height can be adjusted.

 

MX125 also nice..but the price tag also nice..

[timothy927]

what abt Yamaha TW200...

I'd say all three bikes u mentioned are okay if you are confident enough.

 

XR125 is a 4 stroke nice bike. Have the XR400 lookalike pipe on it which really mislead ppl sometimes.

 

DT200 is a tad shaky or unless if you're talking about DT200WR which is the norm. It's a tad high. But if you are good at tiptoe-ing, or if you're quite beefy, that'll be good cos it does help to bring down the height a lil.

 

KSR110 is definitely manageable. Confirm plus chop 2X (cos to make sure I chopped). These are mini-scramblers but still have the capability of one.

 

I don't recall Kawa manufacturing a KDX110, or maybe I have not seen it yet. But if you are interested in a KDX200, go for it if you don't mind a lil hassle of the maintenance. That bike is quite low as well but power is there. Circa SP 1995, KDX are definitely the coolest scrams!!

 

And lest you forgot, the DR200 by suzuki are definitely a bike you should try for your height. No offence but its the milder version of a scrambler. Definitely manageable. (Well I can't manage my ex gf's DR200. Its really hard when u have long legs like me.. *shows off my newly waxed legs*. )

 

My thoughts.

 

Cheers.

[Lao_Chai]

Agree..

 

DR200 is one of the best bikes to start with, for a scrambler.

 

E-start, low maintainance, low consumption, easy to control, cheap, what more could you ask for?

 

I had a DR200 for my first ride too.

[jin ming]

hey guy any1 know if dr 200 & xr 200 have new machine in e martket?

[Swing 7777]

or u can try ktm 200 with shorty forks..in the states the shorty forks are actually meant for women n to convert off rd to motard..if u ride on rd n non off rd..i recomend tt u get a motard..unless u intending to go off rd den higher forks shouldnt be a prob..WR200 is a popular choice amongst females..

Yes.

 

But for a 2B bike, you're economically better off with a good 2nd hander.

[ru21]

hi all, really thanks for your advice... it helps me alot.. thanks..

hahahaha

long waxy legs indeeeeed~!

ahm sure...

wuek!!

 

dr200 is super gd

nice height for grls

super fuel efficient

ive neva seen any 2b bike with such economical settings!

1litre = 30click

 

but one thing, dr200 difficult to find parts

n not many mechs know how to repair or service well

n when they dont know how to repair...

they blamed da maker n da model....

suzuki & dr200...

n if not, they blame da age of da bike!

tsk tsk typical of incompetent mechs!

 

so anybody know where's a gd place to service dr200??

(check: coil, starter, bearings, carb)

Am only 1.55m. I own a 1st hand XR125. Cost at $6200 OTR. IF I'm not mistaken, there are no 1st hand XR200 only XR250... XR125 you can sell off at $4k+. You can asked more abt 2nd hand XR frm MidnightSon(XR125 thread). He bought his 2nd hand...

[ru21]

hi moi,

thanks for the info .. i've been admiring XR 125 all along when i saw one at my area..plate FBA ... is really cool.. haha ... that's so nice to know that there is someone who is almost the same height as me.. heez..
