Hi guys. I've recently had the opportunity to finally get a bike for myself and I have been shopping around on Craigslist and Ebay a lot lately. My mom is willing to spend about 1100 maximum. I recently have received emails from three different people. The first was from a guy who has a 2005 Kawasaki KX 85 bored to 110CC with Platinum Pro Circuit exhaust and factory connection suspension. The second is of a 2003 Yamaha TTR-125LR completely stock with less than 20 hours. The third bike is a Yamaha TTR-125L with Big Gun Evo Exhaust, re-jetted carb, air filter screen modification (removed basically) for only $950. Now I am 145lbs and 5' 8'' and I feel like since the 85 sits higher it would be a much better ride especially if I purchased new wheels however, the third TTR-125 is a bit raised with larger wheels and sits a bit higher than the KX. I really am so indecisive. With my new job coming in January I can't wait to get more parts to mod the bike of my choice and the TTR has so many inexpensive mods that it seems like I would kill the KX 85. Please if you guys could help me out!
So I will lay it all out:
-145lbs 5' 8"
-15 Years of Age
-Ride Trails More Than Tracks
-Need Good Top and Low End So I Can Beat My Cousin and Uncle
-I Really Have Ridden Only 5 or 6 times, twice on a JR80 and the others on a TTR-90 and 125
-Willing to Spend $1200 Max
