Message: [QUOTE="robwbright, post: 1375445, member: 60515"] I'm 5'4, 145 pounds and I'm currently on a YZ250f - just moved off an RM144 overbore. He's certainly big enough for an 85 or 150f. Growing up - before the modern 4 strokes - I rode a CR80 - mainly on trails. They're "peaky", but I never had any problems with getting thrown off - or with keeping it going in the woods. Haven't ridden a CR150F, but I expect it has plenty of power to put you on your back if you are leaning back. However, IMO, neither the 85 nor the 150F are going to just come up in 3rd gear and throw him off if he weighs 135 pounds. BTW, once he has decent suspension and gets started jumping, you're probably going to have more trouble with him wanting to jump too big than not wanting to jump at all. At 13-14, I was jumping in the air higher than my buddies heads - and I never raced MX until I was 32 y/o. [/QUOTE]
