only 5' 3'' and 109lbs? well i dont have very much experiance with dirt bikes but i have lots of experiance with quads iv been riding since i could reach the shifter on our old suzuki. and i bougt raptor a year or two ago so i know how to use a clutch. a frinend of mine had me ride his drz125 and it seemed to be the right size for me but i kno it would be too slow for me after a month or two..

i was thinking maybe a crf 150? but im not sure if that would be too high of a seat for me cause im just a lil girl lol

or maybe i should just get a smaller 2 stroke?
 
A smaller 2 stroke (80cc or so) will be the same size as the four stroke 125. Because a 2 stroke 125 will be way to much for you, probably for a long time they have a lot of insane power that even a tall guy like myself can easily get out of control. The honda crf 150 is pretty much a perfect size for any beginner who wants something to grow into, the thing is you're pretty much done growing and yeah a 125 4 stroke may seem to have a lack in power maybe you should get the yamaha or honda version of that bike and it'll differ greatly from the suzuki's power. I have nothing agaist the drz, suzuki is one of my favorite brands but yamaha dominates the 4 strokes with always haveing a more powerful bike, especially the newer bikes from 06 and up. I'm 6'3 180 pounds and cannot keep a yzf250's front tire on the ground even if I sit on the tank sometimes, I downgraded to a suzuki 250 just so I could enjoy riding the bike normally. My fiance has the crf 150, she's 5'2 and 110 pounds but a good rider with experiance and yes the bike is tall for her but she can still manage it so i'm sure you could also. Dirt bikes arn't very expencive to begin with so you can always get a smaller model and after a year while it's still worth something upgrade to something bigger. A 4 stroke will take less matenance that a 2 stroke which if riden a lot will need to be rebuilt constantly.
