Hello, I am a 36 year old adult, 5'5, 155 lbs. I am trying to find a dirt bike for my size. I am a new rider. Any recommendations on the bike I should get? Want something that is not to tall, decent power, and for an adult. Don't want to get laughed at the track :-)
 
As for the power issue, that should be no problem. Todays bikes are incredible, and whether you are in a low gear or high you will get performance.
Since you are a new rider I would recommend getting a 250. And if you are planning on riding it at the track get the race model.
In my own opinion I would say the top bikes out currently would be Hondas (always a good choice) and the Suzukis.
I'm 5'4" and 1/2 (the half is a confiedence booster) and I ride a crf 250r and love it. I rode it for about three months before shaving the seat which is always an option. You can also lower the suspension. Either way both methods and take an inch or more of the seat height which will help tremendously.
Hope it helped :)
