Re: what bike

if you are talking motor wise, yes the 250 is more powerful, but any motocross racing 125 or 250 have almost identical seat heights, it also depends of how much bike you can handle, 5'2" is alittle short for a 125 rider, but if you can handle it go ahead

Re: what bike

kx65 :YEAH j/k, get a 125 and have the height adjusted down, you can probably knock about 2" off the seat height just with the suspension

Re: what bike

I think on the rear you can adjust the preload which may not actually lower the seat but will make it squat more when you sit, but in the front they may be able to get shorter springs. I may be wrong in all of my thinking, but you may just call a local shop and say that you are really thinkin about gettin a 125, but only 5'2" and see what they can recommend.

Re: what bike

The 125 would definetly last longer but if your just startin out I would get the 85. The 125's have a lot of power.

Re: what bike

If your doing FMX just cut the seat..kill 2 birds with one stone. And by the way, I would even worry about FMX until your comfortable on the bike, haha.

Re: what bike

I agree with n00bkid... Just trim the seat foam that will give you a few more inches depending on how much you take out.
