[QUOTE="Galeener, post: 455822, member: 30728"] Hello We have had a JR50 and now a PW80. I weigh 235 and the PW will get me around. Tthe JR50 would not even pull me up a rise. My son is 8 now and is on the 80 the 50 lasted him about 2 months and he was done with it and we moved to a PW80. In my opinion: I agree about the xr50 being the best choice and I would buy a used one that way when he is used to riding and knows the basics the resale value will be almost the same as what you paid. It will also last him longer than the JR50 The height increase you spoke about on the JR is about 1/2" and involves repositioning the shocks and the seat. This did not even phase my son he told me he was ready to move from the baby bike to a real one. Not that the Pw 80 is a big bike My son can touch the ground on tip toes with it(he is on the short side.) My friend has a pw50 and it does not have close to the power of the xr50. That is my 2 cents for what it is worth. The reason we did not get an XR first is because of the deal we got on the JR50 it was a 96 and I paid $450 for it. I then resold it for the same money to the guy I bought it from because his youger daughter was just getting tall enough and wanted to start riding. Good luck Rhett [/QUOTE]
