Hey guys this is my first post.
I have been a quad rider for 7 years but recently ive been getting curious to try dirtbikes. Ok so i am 15 ys old, and am only 5'2" tall, so i want to know if i am tall enough to ride a 125 or a 250.
Thanks in advance!!

there really is no major height difference between a 125 and 250 or 450 for that matter. you just have to adjust your rear sag and forks for your riding style and height

did you have to lower the 250 or do you ride it stock? i have to use my toes to touch the ground, i was thinking about lowering it with "Yamlink"

No i didnt lower it, but i did buy a low seat from SDG which helped a little. i still have to use my toes.

I'm 6'2 and I have an 04 125. And I can barely sit with both feet touching the ground. It's. Very tall bike... And there is a big height difference when I sit on a 4 stroke, it may not seem like but when I sit on it I can tell a tremendous difference
