Help! (me again, soory!)

For any of you that ride or have knowledge of trailies and dirt bikes, are there any good ones for short people like me? (5'5") With a seat height that isnt 820!! For road use too... Um... I liked the Honda XR125L, but I think its too tall sad1.gif

Thanks!

P.s... Off topic completely, but do any of you post on v d?

What about the Yamaha TW125. It doesn't look too tall, although I'm not a huge fan on that big rear tyre.



v d - I signed up before we started this place but never really felt at home. There's some good folks on there though.

Someone just reccommended the TW... I see what you mean about the HUGE rear tyre. To be honest I dont like it!

Is there anything that looks like a DT125 or a XR125, but with a lower seat hight?

(but thanks Dave)

Have you tried sitting on the Xr, trail bikes squash down quite a bit when you sit on them.
I posted on vd a few times but it wasn't my sort of place.

Have you looked at the CLR125 from Honda.

Not a typical Trailie (more like a road based hybrid) but similar looks and slightly lower seat.

Really? What seat height is it?

Man, I have to stop asking daft questions and get off my bum and plonk it on some bikes for size.
