Hey guys, recently i went to my friends house to ride and i have a look at the 250x. I had trouble getting on it. i could get on it beside the stand on basically and i could kinda get 1 foot tippy toeing on that bike. I'm around 5'4. I be wandering if there would be any difference with the 250F and what is the conservation like for it. If not, would the 125 be better?
kato pretty much nailed it for you. any of the full sized bikes, regardless of engine size, are going to be roughly the same form height ... which is going to be extremely tall for someone of your stature of 5'4" ... at tiniest starting the bike and starts / stops when you need to touch the ground ... or pick up and get support on ...
alot depends on what type of riding you are planning on doing? if you are wanting a full up race bike to be competitive at MX, either a expert 85/100 2 stroke or the CRF150R would be more suitable for you...
but if you are a short time ago looking for a play bike and trail riding, something more along the lines of a CRF / TTR 125-150 (not the R version) even up to a CRF / TTR 225-230 would be a much more appropriate fit... OR one of the expert 85/100 with an added flywheel weight to rob the edge of the peakyness of the racing 2 stroke engine...
The KX250F is just about a 10th of an inch taller than the 250X. They don't make the KX125 anymore, but 125's are the same form height as a 250F, so they will all be duplicate. At 5'4" a lites bike is going to be very tall for you. If you are a greatly experienced rider you could handle it, but otherwise I wouldn't go that route. A CRF150R Expert would fit you better at a 34.1" form height. The lites bikes are just underneath 38".
Answers: try using stilts to get on .
look at their pattern site and read the specifications for seat height
