[QUOTE="fishhead, post: 730025, member: 18565"] sounds like the best plan to me. I haven't pulled the trigger on the kx over the winter since they grow so fast and its beeen cold and wet but the kx80-85 to 100 is a great option. My son is not agressive until he gets in a group so it will take some time on the open stuff to get him up to speed. Ididn't think the wet roots and mud would be the best way to start him on the 2 stroke. The most tell tale sign is when they are riding past the bikes suspension capabilty. Thats where we are with the xr70 and the 4 stroke options are cheesy in the supension dept. A cr80 xr100 hybrid would be great since it would fit him well and give him better supension. The kx 85 100 difference is basically the jug head and wheels from what I see. The 100's are plenty peppy my freind put a throttle stop on his sons 85 for the frist month or so till he got some seat time. I did some calculations on power and weight and an 80 lb rider on a 85 is about the same as an adult on a 250. I'll opt for a flywheel weight. The kx has the easiest suspension to lower and best woods friendly valving stock. [/QUOTE]
