[QUOTE="KTMBell, post: 243958, member: 23216"] My experience is the same for my son. He started on a PW 80 and loved it. We went camping and riding in Michigan, and he did better on the trails than some of those young bucks on 125's. It was great on the trails...just not much power. The clutch thing wasn't as big a deal (getting bored with) as much as the limitations of the bike itself. After a few months on it he was ready to motocross, which it is not built for. We next moved to a KX60 which he rode all this past summer...and he loved it. We just bought a used beater and it still runs great. We're currently looking at 80's/85's now, and my delima is whether to sell the 60 or keep it for my younger. As a word of caution...the 60 has very little on the low end, but when it hits in the middle...it hits hard. Once my son figured out how to control that power he loved it. The only thing he won't outgrow quickly is a KX65 or KTM65. The new Kawsaki 110 looks like a good bike, but you may spend more than you want. Unless you buy a KX65 or KTM [/QUOTE]
