I know I'm a little old,But back when I went to school 5' 12 was 6'
And if you were 6' and 150 you needed to ride an xr 250.But maybe nowadays if you are 5'12 you should ride a crf 50 :D

KDX 200-- Lots of aftermarket stuff, great (four stroke-like) bottom end power, very reliable, very cheap--this is the best bang-for-your-buck bike available. Look into it.

You owe it to yourself to check out the kdx 200. This is not a normal 2stroke! Check out dirtrider.net and other forums for dirtbikes. The kdx is a better bike all around than the xr 250! No comparison--and still cheaper! Don't worry about "2 stroke maintanence" because it doesn't apply to the kdx. Stone reliable

What ya need is some back in the day low end grunt from a TT 500
I have 2 for sale a 76 parts bike and a 78 vintage reace ready runner
Guaranteed to scare ya to death and reliable as the day is long and with the 76 parts bike that is complete ya got parts fer life.

I like the ATK 250LQ, they can be had cheap now, lots of low end, and unique. Rotax motor, FMF pipe, all the goodies come stock. Ive seen them for around $1500-$2000, and the best part is all your buddies dont have one!

well I have a 2000 yzf426 and love it so I say 426 or xr400 stay away from the small cc bikes

I would recommend a PW50.

XR 250 seems to be fine for your size. I've heard good things about the KDX but never have ridden one. Might want to take it for a spin and see what you think.

I would recommend a PW50.

U know man i was thinking the same thing since their so big and fast....jeeze it'll top out at almost a whole 10 MPH...just love those 3 speed transmitions. JK. my 9 year old brother would be board as hell on 1 of those.
