Great 1st bike: CRF250L.

I hear that all the time. When you start on dirt bikes you get over that really quick.
I never put both feet down at a stop on the street anyway.
Back in the day there was a kid that rode a RM 125 that must have been about 12 or 13 yrs old and maybe 5' tall. No chance of touching the ground with 1 foot even on his toes. His dad would hold the bike until he let the clutch out and catch him when he came back. He was fast as hell too.
