[QUOTE="Michelle, post: 513457, member: 16598"] Can you ask the dealer for a test ride? The thing I'm reading here, your son doesn't like the XR due to weight, but likes the KX weight/size. He may stop riding if he has to keep with the XR. He may stop riding if he hates the power delivery of the KX. He may love the KX power & everything about it. A friend of mine's eldest daughter hated her PW80 after a few months & would barely ride. They wanted to get her an XR100, but she felt it was too big, so they got her an XR80 which she has done really well on. She has test ridden an XR100 & loved it (no longer feels it's too big), has also ridden a DRZ125 small wheel & loved it. She is one of these children that as soon as she doesn't like the bike anymore will not ride much. She will never be a two stroke rider, as she rode her brother's KX60 & hated the power of it. I still think your best bet is to ask for a test ride, even if it's just in a field - just so your son knows what the power is like. Put cones down or something & tell him to imagine they're trees. If it's a flat area, he won't be able to see what uphills are like, but that'll come ;) Hope that helps some. Michelle [/QUOTE]
