[QUOTE="mxracer2000, post: 897360, member: 17044"] I have 3 sons ages 4, 8 and 10 that will all be riding with me this summer. My oldest will be coming off a XR70 and I would like to get him a bike that better matches his abilities. Im not sure if he will be racing but he would be practicing on a track and trail riding. He is 4'6 and about 65lbs. He complaines when he's jumping the XR that it hurts his back due to the lack of suspension. I was set on getting him a 65 but I wonder now if maybe an 80 or 85 would be the way to go. This would be his first bike with a clutch and I've heard the 65s have a pretty hard mid to top hit. Would a KX or RM 80/85 be any better for transitioning from the XR due to the slightly better low end? Other than the size how much of a difference is there between the 65 and 80s? I dont want to get him something thats going to scare him away from riding either. [/QUOTE]
