[QUOTE="Jasle, post: 509654, member: 26675"] I agree with Jeff. It really depends on the size. If you are going to do more track time stay away from the TTR's and KLX's. Those bikes beat the rider to death! If your going to hit the tracks either a KX60 or 65 and maybe a 80. The 80 is a little tamer than the 85. The KX65 is actually pretty big. If you are thinking about the kx60 don't shy away from a used one. That way if you need to move up in 6 months your not hosed. Nothing really changed on the kx60 from about 85 til present. The 65 is bigger and has better suspension. One thing that might help confidence is some training. Recently my 7 year old broke his collar bone. he was top 5 in the age class before that. For about a month afterward he was getting waxed by the top 3 beginners. Almost getting lapped by the age class kids. I took him to a local pro that does classes. For $50 the guy worked with my son. About 2 months later he is clearing big 30-40' doubles and I have seen his confidence soar. He has only had a handful of lessons but the confidence has gone straight up!!! Besides nothing I could do or say seemed to help his confidence. I'd tell him he was doing great. When the pro guy worked with him he told Will he was a good learner and you could see Will just perk right up. Best $50 I have ever spent other than the safety gear we have. Also a good set of boots might help confidence. We went from the Oneal to the AXO's. It was worth the extra $$$ My little guy even noticed the extra paddingand plate sewn in to the more expensive boots. [/QUOTE]
