[QUOTE="HiG4s, post: 145054, member: 22165"] How much experience does he have riding? That could be a deteriming factor. If he has never ridden a bike before at all, even though he is big enough, I would not go with a 125 or even a 100 MX bike. And you might even think about finding a cheap older bike, trail or maybe a dual sport, to start on just for a few months then go with the 125 MX. My son, 12, 5'0", 100lbs is now on an XR100 4-stroke it is not near enough bike for him and we will be moving him to an 80 cross bike soon. But it is his first bike and three months ago when we bought it he couldn't have handled anything bigger. The local Gas Gas dealer (who also buys and sells used bikes) just took a 2000 KX85 in that has only been ridden twice becase it was given to a kid with no experience. The kid looped it the second time he rode it and is now scared of bikes and won't ride at all. [/QUOTE]
