[QUOTE="firffighter, post: 1106014, member: 58725"] My 10 year old has been riding for 3 years now and has moved from a crf70 (1 year on that bike) to a Kx60 (2 years on this bike). We trail ride only with an occasional trip to the Oregon dunes. He is not a very big kid, 4'7" 74 lbs., but is a good athelete. He does well on his 2-stroke 60, but he also rode a xr100 for 1 week this summer, and I noticed that he was much more aggressive on the 100, probably because the power was more managable. The question is whether to go to a 80cc 2 stroke (newer 85's are too tall and we are looking for used only), or to go to a 125 4 stroke, or something else. I want something that will take him up to 13/14 years old. I know he will grow, but he wont be a very big kid as my wife and I are pretty small. I am afraid a 80cc 2 stroke will be too much for him as it is a stretch height wise and the power is very strong for a 10 year old trail rider. I am also afraid a 125 4 stroke is too heavy and underpowered to last for 3/4 years. Any suggestions. Any trail/woods riders out there how have gone throught the same thing. This seems like a tough transition period for a kid as the move to the next level of bike is big not only in the power, but in the height as well. I would consider a 80 2 stoke if we could keep the power under control and not foul plugs if we lug it around all day on trails. I would also consider a 4 stroke if we could later add more power to it as he grows. I would appreciate any help on the subject. Thanks [/QUOTE]
