[QUOTE="Krabill, post: 1190165, member: 69485"] Do not get an 80 . . . please. It's a minibike. I don't care if it has the big wheel option or not, it is still a minibike. You'll be much better off in the long run on a full size bike. I would also like to address that it seems from your responses like you might not have exactly the right idea about what is meant by calling a 125 "forgiving". Don't be fooled . . . they are wicked fast, it just doesn't have as bad of a tendency to throw you off the back as a 250 does. There is a much bigger gap between an 80 and a 125 than a 125 and a 250 . . . in my experience anyway. On the track with my friends, the better rider will be in front between a 125 & 250. The 80 won't have a chance. And I wanted to add a little to Patman's notion that a 125 is more difficult to ride and say that no, it is not more difficult to ride, it is however, more difficult to ride [i]fast[/i]. Once you figure out how to keep the front from coming over on you on a 250 - you are going fast. A 125 will force you to use as much of the bike's potential that you can squeeze out of it. That is what makes it more "difficult" and will make you a better rider. my .02 [/QUOTE]
