i want to get started in racing and i am not sure if i should get a 100, 85, or a 125 the 85 i think is to small, the 100 seems perfect but i am not sure where i could race it, the 125 i think will be too much power. i am around 6 ft. and 135 lbs.

Yeah, 125 cuz you also don't want to buy a bike and grow out of it to fast. You would be to tall for a 100. Im around 5'7" and my 125 is almost perfect for me.

the 85 or 100 would be eaaier to handle but the 125 would be faster u could handle a 125 tho cause i am tall and i started on a 125 when i was 12.

i would go with the 125... the power isnt that bad.  just think of it this way... i'd rather have too much power then to have to upgrade your motor to get more power

I heard that 4-strokes get expensive with all the valve adjustments and rebuilt motors and such.

On average how much would I change and/or adjust the valves if i was just racing?

On average how often would i have to rebuild the motor?

I have heard many things on theese 4-strokes but the cost of new valves and motors would get expensive. Which would be more expensive in keeping it running good a 4-stroke or a 2-stroke?
