Hello, l was just wondering if this bike is appropriate for me.

l am 14 years old and about 5'3 and weigh 105lbs/47kg.

l have had a KTM 85sx,Honda CRF150RB,Honda CRF250R and KTM 250sx.

l wanna start racing now.
l took my CRF250R to a motocross track and struggled alot to throw it around.
My dad talked to somebody else and they reccomended a CRF150RB for me to touch up on my skills with (So my dad bought one). l have had a good time with that but now l miss my good old 250F power l love so much.

Do you think if l practice for a few more months on the 150R l would be ok on the 2009 250SX-F For the start of the next motocross season? - l can not sit on it properly, l would get shorter springs and cut down seat.

Thanks :)

You r a bit short for the 250f but if u r happy with it then why not. It is rough when u r the age of lots of others who can easily throw their bikes around & u can not due to being smaller, but it is possible to successfully race a 250f when small as my son is doing just that & doing very well on the bike. Mind u he is now a few inches taller than you, but if u take the bike to a specialist in suspension who can set it up for ur size & weight & also trim the seat down that is a start. get some starting blocks for the start line so u can touch the ground & go out to ride for fun & not expect a lot at first as getting off the start gate when u r smaller than the others is difficult especially if it happens to be concrete starts as the bike spins a lot more no matter what u do. With a lot of practice u can stop this. Also practice picking the bike up when u go down so u can figure out the quickest way to do that as u lose a lot of time if u go down & r the last to get ur bike up.

Also keep in mind that many of the top riders r small in stature.
