mmm.. when you say motocross bike im thinking 2 stroke beasts? 2 strokes like to rev & hit power bands easly not really for the easly scared people!
4 strokes well completely different bikes, not really scary power until you jump on a 400cc <<< in my opinon! you can just goto a pump & put petrol in no mixing oil etc, & they are far more reliable than proper Mx bikes like kx, cr, rm, yz
in other hands theres bikes like dt125, kmx125, kdx125 but i dont know how tall you are
Best to look on ebay under enduro/supermoto road legal for an idea what you want  ____________________ My 1991 CR125 Street Supermoto Spec'd Project Build

What is the difference between Enduro and Supermoto? From pictures I can see that Enduro are more for off road and Supermoto more for road use?
I had a look and start to fall in love...
This one is just beautiful, heavier than my current bike though...

Also they look quiet tall, I'm only 163cm which is about 5.3 feet. I'm starting to worry if I would be able to actually touch the ground from one of those, not mention anything else  |

You're not supposed to be able to touch the ground on a supermoto!
When I rode my mate's KTM Duke 2, I had to get on it with the side stand down, right foot on peg, left foot tip-toeing down, then put it in gear, bring left foot up kicking up the stand on the way, and off you go!
