Answer
"i would go with a 90 honda, not a 125, to tall for you and power"
you're kidding right? i'm 5'4'' and ride a 200cc, i could even go up more, and this was my first bike... and it's by far not too poweful for me nor too fast... (i'd like more of both actually)
at 5'6'' if you got on a 90 or 125 cc bike, (unless it's two stroke, which you don't want becuase you just aid you don't want too much power or speed) you're gonna look like a fucking circus act... a full grown person riding a midget bike....(aside from chinese pit bikes... those have suspension built for bigger people, not kids.. so of course they're seat height is at about your height limit)
at 5'6'' you can ride any bike with a seat height around 34''-37''... although most likely at 37'' you'll be tiptoing on one foot and flat footing the other (not entirely a bad thing... it's reccomended you can flat foot on both sides, but that's just a general example, it doesn't apply to everyone... that's just what generally people find easier)
start with looking at the seight height range i gave, and go sit on the bikes....
btw, just off the top of my head... yamaha ttr-225, honda crf230f, honda xr200, xr250, yamaha yz250f... all great starter bikes that should fit you perfectly. plenty of speed and power when you need/want it... not enough to kill you. lol.

Good beginners dirt bike-Kid?

I'm trying to help a friend out. His kid wants a dirt bike and with the holidays coming up he has started looking into it. His son is 10 y.o. and is about 5 ft. tall around 100lbs. (I'm sure about the age but the height and weight is my best guess) His father was talking about a PW80 but I was thinking that might be a little to small but I also think that a 125cc might be to much. he doesn't have any experience riding a motorized bike up until now he's just had a bicycle. I was thinking maybe a XR 100 or TT-R 90 or something like that. He's looking for a good used one. Just looking for suggestion on a good starter bike for a kid.
Thanks
I appreciate all the reply's. he is still looking but I'm sure that he'll find something in time for the holidays.
Answer
CRF100F, or a few years back it was a XR100, would be a good bike for him. it has a clutch but is very easy to ride if you think a 125 would be to much
