My son rides a KX65 on MX/SX tracks and frankly he's not that good. His buddy traded in his KX65 for an XR80 and improved considerably. The powerband is much friendly on the 4-stroke and the suspension isn't really an issue because he's not taking any big jumps.
My son wants a 4-stroke now. Does anyone know of any choices other than the XR80? One option I was wondering about was getting an XR100 and putting XR80-sized wheels on. Does anyone know how I could pick up XR80 wheels fairly cheap - and will they slap on the XR100 without any modifications? My main concern with the XR's and TTR-125 is the weight.
I'd like to get him one of those sweet BBR bikes with 14/17 inch wheels but I checked the prices and they are way out of my reach! Anyone know where I could find a used BBR bike?
Any suggestions on a good 4-stroke for this application - sized about the same as an XR100 - would be very much appreciated!
One more thing: What in the heck is the skin-o-matic?!
