Thats the only thing about the 85 that worried me is that i would out grow it like you said.

its hard to get used to, but like i said, the second day i had it i was getting used to it and riding like never before! it will become easy to go slow and get off and on the more you ride. the first day i was scared to turn around on it lol! you will be fine. i would seriously get the 125. you will be fine! how old are you?

get the 125, you are young and will grow, and 85 will throw you just as fast as a 125 will, since a 85 only weighs about 150, you will save monet by getting a 125

exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the 85 is a waste of time and money, ive heard tigmaster say he wishes he never bought his!

Yeah the 125 and 85 are going for the same price though. TJ did you adjust your suspension at all? Do you know if you can set it closer to your weight so its not as stiff? Cause im only like 125lbs.

yeah, im sure you can. but i didnt. what i mean about the money is, you will buy an 85, sell it for less, and buy the 125 for more. you shouldve just got the 125. that is a great deal. here is me, i cant touch the ground too good, but that cant stop you from riding just as good.

5 ft 7 is not to short to ride a 125

2troke · 06-02-2008, 02:55 PM

I'm 5' 7'' but my legs arent that long. My dads YZ's seat is only 38.5 inches and i can touch with my tippy toes.

gscx · 06-02-2008, 02:56 PM

2troke · 06-02-2008, 03:16 PM
