Did Shaz tell you she has an RM125 for sale? I think you'd find that pretty exciting.

Best idea is to go round and look at and sit on plenty of stuff, plenty of good models already suggested above.

+ 1 million

or ttr230

My sister has one of those and they go surprisingly well. Suspension is a bit shit, but otherwise great entry to dirt bikes.
