Amazing video. Great detail and very wide options. Keep up the great work
Thanks, will do!
You've got a easy-going attitude and disposition. Very informational.
Thanks, Derek. I appreciate your kind words.
A 5'6" female is actually a height within 2 standard deviations from the actual average 5'4". Most women are between 5'2 and 5'7 (66%)
Ok
I'm obsessed with husqvarna nuda 900 and have non stop searched for the perfect short person version. Still looking 2 years later.
For the street or dirt?
I can't thank you enough
You're welcome, Zaltone - are you going to buy a dirt bike?
Im 175cm .. would a i be able to touch ground with feets on yamaha yz 125 cuz i want to switch from 85.
You would probably fit better on the 125 at that height.
I am fairly short rider (5'3") and have rode sport bikes for a few years. I'm looking to try out dirt bikes now but I'm worried about quickly outgrowing and no longer enjoying the small 125cc bikes that I will fit best on. Is there any hope for me to one day be able to comfortably ride a larger bike like a 250-300cc?
Absolutely! Thanks for sharing that, Casey! First, don't worry about quickly outgrowing a bike - it's not only more enjoyable, but safer to start on a smaller bike because you'll have more confidence when starting out because you can easily touch the ground and it won't get out of control easily.
I keep hearing from my students that struggle at first on bikes that are too tall and powerful, wishing they would've started smaller - you can always upgrade later, whether it's 1 year or 10 years down the road :)
Do you need help choosing the right bike, Casey?
@@MotocrossHideout I'm looking between a Kawasaki KLX140 and a Honda CRF125 or 150 at the moment! Do you have any opinions on those two bikes?
Those are all good bikes, it really depends on your budget and preferences. If you don't need fuel injection, the KLX140 is a slightly better bike overall than the CRF125F.
The Honda has 2 different sizes and the Kawasaki has 3 sizes to choose from. I have reviews for all 3 bikes on my website if you want to check them out:

@@MotocrossHideout your reviews were super helpful! I have one more question! When I am looking around to buy a used bike (4 stroke) what’s the oldest year you would consider still a good bike? Is an older bike, like a 2005-2010 still a good purchase or should I stick to newer bikes like a 2018+? Thanks!
@@caseygauwain8084 Glad you found them helpful! The older models are generally just as good for these beginner trail bikes. It mainly depends on how well it's been maintained.
For example, if you can find a cheaper 2008 bike that's clean with low hours, it will be just as good as a 2018.

To bad most bikes are way heavy. And to bad I can’t buy a new Hodaka dirt bike at 180#.
Yes, but that Hodaka doesn't have the same suspension, stability and durability compared to a modern bike.
Please provide millimetres if you want to reach an audience outside USA.
I'll keep that in mind for future content. Thanks, Bob!
Dude I'm a 14 year old girl and I'm 5,8
Yep, you're taller than most, Olivia. Do you already have a bike?
Basketball is in your future
@@MotocrossHideout I don't have a bike yet but I'm getting one soon 😈🖤
@@OKFrax-ys2op it is 🖤😈
