Okay, my son is 14 years old and he races 85 and supermini very competitivley (Loretta's/Ponca/Vegas). Any way, he's tired of being beaten by Tomac and Bagget so he wants to ditch the 85's and race 125 junior/ intermediate. I wont get him a 250F because I want to keep him on the 2-strokes as long as I can, but I'll probably end up getting him one when he's 16 or so.
I'm thinking maybe KTM 144, but I dont know the AMA rule if that's allowed in the 125 class. If not then I will probably get him a 125 and put some money into it to try to get it to run withg the 250F.
1) your physical size (both height and weight are important) 5'4, 115 pounds.
2) How physical / aggressive are you ? Pretty agressive, maybe a little less on a bigger bike.
3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ????? Competetive motocross
4) Do you have any riding experience? Riding since he was 3
5) Do you think you will race ? definetly
6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? Yes I will be doing all the work. Atleast until he's on a factory team huh?
7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? I been thinking a 125 or 144.
8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? Every major brand
9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike? $9000
10) Do you live in California? Yes
11) Your age?My sons 14
12) anything else that you think would help form an opinion
We've ridden suxzuki for 6 years, but I think it's time for a change. I like ktm's, but yamaha's look good to.
