If you are 12 how are you going to ride a 250f? unless you are huge.

Kawasaki..kx85-22

ya rippin it does not matter ur height and wieght, what matters is ur skill and since u say u have ridden for 4 years i think u could go with a 250 four stroke ive riddin 4 5 years and im on a 125 2 stroke wich, is like a 250 in some ways(cause they race in the same class) and i can handle it now it was a little hard at first but once u get it u never forget it. and if u get good on that 250 u will be rippin, but once u get it take it slow, i did not and almost crashed. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO DO IS TAKE IT SLOW, WHEN U FIRST HOP ON IT

charmicheal is 5'3 but he has his suspension lowered almost all the way! i would get a 125 and hopefully grow into it., EVEN BETTER AN 85cc dude!you can put bigger wheeles than the standards. plus that would be your age group anyways.

thanks for the encouragement.. uhh the guy above the guy above me :) but as for the guy right above me, i was told i should get a 125, because im a bit big for an 85, but im pretty set in my ways with 4 strokes, the thing i dont like though is how much heavier they are then 2 strokes, plus i love the feeling of a 2 stroke rippin into powerband i think ill try my friends 85 today and make my mind up about 2 stroke or 4 stroke... and without a doubt if i got a 250 i would lower the suspension alot...
