[QUOTE="Patman, post: 1403826, member: 16962"] Sounds like a couple of CRF / XR250's or KDX200's would fit the bill quite nicely. The CRF (new name) aka XR250 is a oil & air cooled, low maintenance easy to service 4 stroke with Honda build quality. These bikes are VERY popular for running around in the outback / bush in Australia to this day because there is little to break. There are gobs of performance potential in them that doesn't take loads of bucks. The KDX is the Kawasaki version of the XR250 except it's 2 stroke and has radiators since it's water cooled. Again a very solid bike with good support and not a huge level of required maintenance. Both of these bikes should be in the relm of fitting both you and your son (he might be a little tippy toe on the KDX but that can be addressed). The great advantage of having two of a kind is easy maintenance and no need to carry a bunch of different parts. I have ridden both of these bikes and chose the XR250 because it fit what I wanted best. For the long version of why ---> [url]http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/showthread.php?t=107809&highlight=forward+motion[/url] The CRF150F is a great little bike but I bet your son would outgrow it pretty quick. Having had a boy that rides I always went a little big because the bike always was a little small in a short amount of time. The CRF230 for you would be a bit small and undersuspended IMO. Again this is a bike I have ridden and it's a fun toy but I'd not pick one as my main ride because it would see it's limits very quickly even with my modest skill. [/QUOTE]
