he will be fine with a 125.

2troke · 06-03-2008, 04:45 PM

Yeah ill be fine on any 125 thats not a Yamaha now. Since i did some research and i found the other 4 manufacturers have seats that are a inches less than Yamahas 125. The YZ we have is 38.5 inches for the seat and i could touch with my tippy toes like i said. But no one is selling other than Yamaha around here lol.

tippy toes is good
when i ride, i just put one foot down and lean it a bit to one side

... so what happens if you stop over a ditch?

can anyone say lowering kit?

2troke · 06-03-2008, 06:33 PM

Or learn to lean over softly

2troke · 06-04-2008, 05:21 PM

Well i went to the dealer and i sat on alot of bikes 450's, 250's, 125's, 105's, and 85's. I couldnt really tell any height difference between the KTM and Yamahas in height on any of the bikes. Well i could fit on a 125/250/450 i just dont feel i could handle the bike as easy as an 85/105. I havent rode in awhile almost 4 years now and i dont have that much experience. So i think i should just go with an 85/105 for now get used to riding again. Then maybe next year ill upgrade to a 125/250. The 85/105 seemed the perfect height and weight for me and its got alot of power to. So im going to wait another week to see if theres anymore bikes and then ill buy a new bike next weekend. Never really realized how big 85/105's really were till i sat on one.
