I was talking about his daughter's 85. Only 85 with a PV is the Kawasaki, others are tougher to ride. All the KTM105s around here have had lower ends done or are sold off prior. Wheelie, if you doubt me google it. The rod lower end design has one set less grooves than most bikes that causes oil starvation. Aftermarket rod kits fix this.

Its simple physics, much smoother ride with larger wheels. A 5'3" 18 yr old experienced female rider is a lot closer to a 5'4" 14 yr. old boy than you think. There are some really fast, short, athletic young girls in our hare scramble series on 125s.

I would agree that a 250F is a bit much, but a 125 no, it will be fine. Plus, it can be raised again if desired instead of buying another bike.
