[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 134093, member: 22283"] To me, a XR100 is the perfect first bike, problem is they grow out of them so fast. The bike is not made to take MX jumps. My boy only weighs 109 lbs, but hes 5'9" and he was on and off of his xr100 in a matter of weeks. I couldn't bear to watch him tear that little bike up, so I got him a used yz125. If your boy is only just over 5', he may have a hard time handling a full frame bike, but his weight is definately more than the xr can handle for very long. He is probably gaining invaluable experience on the xr, but once he starts jumping well, it's time for a different bike. This could also turn into a safety issue. Like I said, the xr100 just can't handle jumps for long. A broken ankle would probably cost more in the long run than the difference in price of another bike. Sounds to me like a good excuse for Dad to get a 125.....soon as Jr. can handle it, go get yourself a 250! :D [/QUOTE]
