Q. I'm 19, 5'5 , 140lbs and im looking for a next dirtbike for trail riding but have troubles if i dump the bike getting on and starting it because of seat hight. its very fustrating. The bikes i have ridden are 1st-1982 mx175, 2nd- 2002 yz125, 3rd-2008 crf150rb, 4th- 2007 kx100. experienced seat hight trouble with yz 125 (seat hight-39in)
kx250f seat hight 37in and have considered shaving seat and lowering by forks but the new 2012 ktm sxf250 has electric start which would make things much easyer but seat hight is 39in as well. Not sure what too do or what would be the reasonable choice.

If your wanting to save some money and your stuck between the 2 id say the kawi. ktm's are the most spendy for sure (KTM = Kost Too Much.) Although I love mine but i ride woods and nothing else really. They do make a great bike but you'll be spending more... I'd also look into the CRF's if I were you. I had a CRF250f and LOVED it. As for the height problem.... You'll get more comfortable the more you ride and theres ways of lowering your rear shock and front forks but its kinda spendy. You could also cut some seat foam but i personally prefer a nice seat and not hard plastic.

Which yamaha dual sport bike is better?
Vertigo
I was looking the 2011 WR250X, the 2011 WR250R and the 2012 TW200. I prefer the TW2000 cause is cheaper and dont know it looks nice. But i will like to know the pros and cons of each one, nore concentrated in the TW200. Thanks
Answer
Rule out the wr250x as its street tires will not be good off road.
The wr250r is a dual sport, powerful for a 250 and tall, so you will want to sit on one and see if it fits. While it won't be too comfortable on a highway it is fast enough for one. It would be a good off road bike based on the power and tires.
The TW200 has been sold for years so its easy to find one used, though I think very early models had kick starting only, so check the one you are looking at has electric start. It will be about half the price of the 250, less if you are buying used. Its 200cc engine is not very powerful, so it will not be fast enough for highway driving (top speed is around 60mph). It will be ok on easy trails, but a bit underpowered on anything with steep hills. If it doesn't matter to you about the higher speed and power of the 250, or the 250 is too tall, then I think the TW200 would be a good in town and trail bike, and fine for country riding, and will get really good gas mileage.
