I am now in the market to getting JR. a new bike since he has waaaaaay outgrown his PW..
He is 9. He can ride EVERY day at the house (small track). Getting used to a clutch won't be a problem at all..so I figured, why have him start on a 65, when after a year he will undoubtely outgrow it.( I am "financially challenged" too :( so the cost of getting another bike in a years time would be hard to do)
SO.. I have considered an 2000' kx80...in actuality, it is only 3 inches taller than a 65...and I can always lower the height with a dogbone and/or shaving the foam a bit...
He is NOT racing this for atleast 3 months anyways.. I believe the learning curve would be the same for a 65 or 80...just more power with the 80 and more suspension too..
SO.. comments please! Thanx.. j-bo
