    The 230 is gonna be hard for you to ride due to the ergonomics. At 6'3" your knees will be in the handlebars.

    As far as ease of riding the 230 is a great starter bike.

    You might want to check into a used full size bike.

    Maybe an XR 250 or even a 2 stroke 125 as some have suggested.

    jeez you're a big 15 yr old.

    i agree with AS on a used full sized bike as well at your size.

    I agree with the boys. My kid brother is closing in on 6 foot and he is at home with a crf 250r. As a beginer I would say shoot for a crf 250 X. The bike is mello in its stock state and as you get better you can follow the mods to turn it into an R styled bike.
    Where did they go boss?
