[QUOTE="YZmidLife, post: 1393775, member: 73862"] You [U][I]might[/I][/U] be able to find a DRZ400E or an XR400 that is already plated in California, but they are going to be rare (and command a higher price). Both have a reputation for being bullet-proof, but also heavy. A DRZ400S would be steet legal, but I wouldn't ride one of those on anything but a fire road. Also, I would be hesitant to go with anything that a seller claims is "ready to be plated". You may find that the California DMV disagrees. Other "[I]if I had to do it all over again first bike[/I]" bikes would be a KDX200/220 or RMX250 (<-this one might be a little "spirited" :eek: , so try before you buy). Since these are smokers, you should stick with a 2002 or older to get the green sticker. They are also going to be more in line with your prices. Figure between $1200 - $2200 for one of these. My son is the same size and age as yours. We just got him a KLX110 and he can sit on it flat-footed. I'm sure he will outgrow it within a year. A CRF80 may have been a better choice, as the seat is taller and it has a clutch, but then the KLX will become something for me to play with when he does move up :) . Figure between $800 - $1200 for a nice KLX, a couple hundred more for a CRF. [/QUOTE]
