[QUOTE="salgeek, post: 981005, member: 47047"] Years and years ago I went from a small wheeled Kaw 90ccto a large wheeled Yam 100 yz in the mid 70's. Huge difference in seat height and performance. The only way I could touch was to put one leg's thigh on the seat then I could reach the ground with the other leg. Performance was a real eye opener; but I had little in the way of skill to keep it on the pipe so I really couldn't get into too much trouble. Course that all changed very quickly as the suspension and wheel size advanced my riding skills more than any other bike change EVER. The only way I could kickstart the bike was on the kickstand.. for a couple years. My son is in a similar position. He is 12 years old and rides a DS 80 cc 2 stroke. I've looked at the Honda 100 and the Yam TTR125 and both seem like excellent trail bikes. But the heft/weight of each trouble me. That said we will be going with the KAW KX100 or the KTM 105 (it's back). Course the KTM is out iff I can't find a larger tank for it. my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
