Why not just buy a KX100 & have Eric smooth out the powerband? Or are you talking about the small wheel version of the KX85? (we get both small & big wheel versions of all the 80s over here & I get confused as to what you guys get or don't get).Originally posted by flying W
Here is an option that you may want to consider. I have thought about what bike to get my girlfriend (5'4, beginner). I thought of a TTR125 but I changed my mind. I'm going to get a Kawasaki KX85 and have the motor modified to 100cc's by Eric Gorr. He says that he can modify the motor to make it more beginner friendly than the TTR125.
It usually is, but has some real unfun moments too, but it's never boring ;)Originally posted by flying W
Whatever you decide to get, welcome to dirtbiking and enjoy! I think dirt biking is one of the funnest things I've ever done.

From memory, you didn't start on the KDX? Not a slight at you, just I can't remember but don't think you did?
Lol, I learnt all that (except the how to ride) on my DT125, then the 80 I learnt how to pick a bike up (the DT didn't last long & as I was being babysat all the time, the guys always picked it up off me). Now I'm learning how to pick lines so I don't get stuck on the KDX. I'm a slow learner and I've decided there's not much hope for me. I think I'll be having the KDX until I'm in a box or get totally fed up and I'm not sure which'll come first.Originally posted by dirty~d~
You are correct. I started on a CR125. The only thing I truly learned on that bike was clutch, brake, throttle. I'm learning how to ride on my KDX.
