[QUOTE="Rcannon, post: 696225, member: 26263"] Rob, I watched my friend go through the same thing with his kid. He played it conservative and bought his 10 year old a TTR 90. Great bike, but by day two the kid wanted to jump and go fast! The shock went out on the 90 almost instantly. They rode the bike another few months before selling it at quite a loss. If your son rides really easy, the TTR/XR's are great. If he jumps or rides hard, skip it. I know as adults we try to find the logical answers. The CR 80 has no low end and it tough to ride. There is also the matter of a clutch to deal with. BUT...the bike rips. I weigh 200 with gear. The bike will easily wheelie with me on it. I thought the bike was a riot and enjoyed my short ride on it. The kid that got the CR 80 had the clutch and powerband figured out before we had a chance to explain it to him. We made more of a deal about it than the kid did! The CR is slightly high, but you can let some of the preload of the rear spring to help this. I know this is not the ideal thing to do, but it helps to learn the bike. [/QUOTE]
