[QUOTE="palazzi, post: 504143, member: 32189"] Four months ago I bought a XR100 (1993) for my 10 years old son. This was his first bike. On this bike, he has learned the basics (ie. shifting, breaking, turning, etc.) While we kept on wide-easy trails, everything was fine. During this first two months, he gained confidence and enjoyed his bike. One day, he wanted to try a local MX track. On the track, he tried to make a little jump and had a bad landing. The result: a broken ankle and five weeks out action. After this, we came back to our bikes, but his confidence was also seriously injured. In fact, he was so afraid of riding his bike that he couldn’t go through those easy trails that he used to take during the first days. Now, he is starting to gain confidence again, but he keeps felling down quite often. These aren’t big falls, but he is starting to loose his enthusiasm. When we talk about our bikes, he complains about the heavy weight of his XR100. So, I am looking for alternatives to keep him happy and motivated. Since he already know how to shift, break, etc, I am considering buying an used KX 60 (2000). This bike might be more aggressive than his XR100, but will surely be lighter. Would a KX 60 or a KX65 be a good bike for my son. Are there any tricks to limit the power output of this bike?. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
