[QUOTE="elcamino12sec, post: 1024366, member: 66362"] Hello all, I bought my girlfriend a yz85. I chose it for her because its real light (incase she dumps it over) and the seat height is perfect 34". It has small tires and in Florida we have mostly sand so its hard for her to ride. She rode a crf230 and it did much better in sand and she said it was so much easire to ride. We just trail ride so power is not a huge concern. The draw back is the weight, it weighs like 240lbs or so and way too expensive. I know the kx100 has larger tires and a power valve. I assume it has a much more forgiving power band than the 85. The yamaha is plenty powerful but it is either on or off with the power. I was thinking about selling the 85 and getting the kx100 and installing a flywheel weight to tone down the hit. What do you guys think? Will it be easier in sand, will the power band come on easier and have more bottom end? She is 5'6" and 120 lbs. Any help would be great, thanks. [/QUOTE]
