Am I tall enough to ride a Crf 250r?

I really want a Honda Crf 250r and was wondering whether i'm tall enough or not. I'm 5'6 and 120 pounds. I'm not to experienced of a rider. I also was looking at a yz125 I know that it is a little taller but have also heard that a crf 250r is for the experienced rider. If i'm tall enough for both which one of these bikes would suit me better considering my skill level?

You could ride the bike, I don't see why not. At your weight a 125 two stroke would feel a lot more nimble and just as fast considering a 250f weighs 20 pounds more. But if you want a thumper I'm sure that's what you'll get.

I'm 5'7 and I started riding my Crf250r when I was 120lb. You can buy a kouba lowering kit so it sits lower and adjust the sag so it rides as low as possible for you to get the feel. I'm 160lb (weight lifting) now and I ride it without adjusted sag or the lowering kit. Just be prepared for a lot of power if you're a new rider.

Can you straddle it and put both feet on the ground and can you pick it up if it's laying down?

  • Will the honda xr650l be too tall for me? I'm really interesting in the xr650l dualsport but i'm 5'8" without any kind of boots with a 30-31" inseam. I know the seat height for this bike is 37. Would it be too tall to the point it would be unsafe for me to ride?
  • Will a honda cbr300f be enough for me to ride to and from work? I'm looking into buying my first street bike. I'm wondering will a cbr300f be enough to take me to and from work. My work is 35 miles from my home. I weight about 175 and that is without protective gear. I want to know before I get my hopes up if the 300f will allow me to ride at 70 or 80 miles per hour and still allow me to accelerate to pass vehicles if needed.
  • What's a good beginner bike for a tall rider? I've always wanted to get a bike ever since my mom let me ride one when I was 12. I'm a 16 year old girl, 5'9", 135 pounds. I was thinking about a Triumph Bonneville (it's my dream to own one but now I'm thinking it's too small) or a Honda. Does anyone know what would be a good bike for me, even if I grow an inch or two more before I can afford one?
  • Recommend sports bike for 5 foot 3 inch tall person? I will be 16 years of age soon, and currently race with a crf100 (although it is much too small at this point haha) and out and about I drive a crf230l with no trouble. I'm 5'3" and weigh 135lbs. I'm looking into getting a sports bike, and am considering a ninja 300, or a honda cb500f. The ninja 300 seems ideal, but I worry it is too small, and won't do much more than 130kmph. What would you recommend?
