You atleast want a 125 or 250 stroker, both light and can pull a wheelie Smile

Hi. A friend of mine is a trial bike rider, but he also rides alot of enduro, and he is pretty good at it. His opinion (if he was gonna ride a dirt bike and not a enduro bike) is that for tight rides in the woods or mountain he preferes a 125, in this case a Yamaha YZ125. Very easy to handle and also enough power for most obstacles.
If you want you can gear it up from stock (Stock for yamaha is 48). I have no experience with the YZ250 two stroke. All I can say is that it is 8 kg (18lbs) heavier than the YZ125. 2016 KTM SX125 has 4,39 more horsepower than the YZ125, but I dont think it would matter.

And forgot to mention, a 85cc will not fit you. Its way too small i think. Atleast for motocross.
