I've been looking for a dirt bike but I don't know what size bike I should get. Im like around 180 and 5 foot 5 or 5 foot 6. I plan on dropping like 40 pounds just to be faster on any bike I get. I want to race ama. Oh and I used to race ama when I was like 6 and haven't raced bikes since. So I mean Im stuck. I've been looking at 250 4 strokes. Im barely touching in regular shoes. So could some help me out and direct me to a brand and size bike I should get. My experience level riding dirt bikes isnt that good. I do ride fourwheelers occasionally and I've hit 60 and faster. Ive called dirt bike shops and everyone says that because of how big I am I should get a 450 4 stroke. I just want a last word before I waist a couple grand on something that won't fit.
 
A 450 4 stroke would be the bike which you'd go onto if you've never ridden a bike before. Maybe with your size a 125 2 stroke will be suitable I started on 1 when I was 13, and there really good fun, then once you've got used to gears, clutch control, and throttle control. Then you move up to the 450 or 250 4 stroke. It's alot to take in and to start on a big bike may not be the best thing to do. And the last thing you want is getting hurt or letting it frighten you when starting on something that big.

I honestly think you should drop way down to an 85. Just try sitting on one and maybe (if you can) take a test drive. If it's to uncomfortable size wise... Go to a 125. I think you'll find a 125. Good luck!
