Welcome to the forums.

NSR's are a good first bike, and popular with the ladies too (Think they're quite low down).

2 stroke 125's are more expensive to run than 4 stroke 125's in normal conditions (Two stroke has to be added to petrol, and expensive oil has to be used, I also think 2 strokes require more spark plug changes than 4 strokes).

Do you mean an enduro? Also known as a trail bike. I would think this could be a bit tall for you and you may stuggle to get your feet down.

The NSR is a great bike to start on, whether you are short or tall (i'm 6 ft 2" and its till comfy) they are good around town and uick enough when derestricted to keep you out of trouble.

Yeah, sorry Very Happy , I meant an enduro. And yes, I tried one XT and one Honda Transalp and they were really high for me. In fact if I run them I should't stop, cause can't touch the ground Very Happy But they said DT126 would be good...dunno, haven't seen one of these. Any thoughts?
