Message: [QUOTE="FruDaddy, post: 1010609, member: 63076"] The KLX 110 might be a good choice but it won't be much of of a change. An 85 MXer would be good if he can handle the power, it's doable. The KX 65 would be the most logical choice based on size and power, but the powerband hit is very explosive. I think that at 4'7" he is too short for the TTR125, and probably any 85 class MXer. For trails, he needs to be able to reach the ground. You should take him by you local Kawi dealer and have him sit on the KX85, KX65, KLX110, and KLX125(although I don't expect it will fit). The KLX's will have a smoother power curve with better bottom end, the smokers won't be as good on the bottom with the 65 most likely being the harder to ride. The 110 is the only one of the 4 w/o a clutch, but I really feel that at his age he should be ready to use his left hand too. My son started using a clutch at 7, and I just taught my 10 yr old daughter (although she is far from an aggressive rider). [/QUOTE]
