My 14 year old, 5'4 and 110/115 lbs is a really aggressive rider. We ride pretty tight Mx tracks every Sunday and a fast medium terrain large pasture track during the week. He has a TTR 125 right now that he has completely mastered and abused. He rides my yz125 great in the open pasture/grass track but the weight of the YZ kicks his butt in loose corners and he really cant throw it around in the air. He admits that it is too heavy for him.
I can get him a nice 04 kx85 for a good price. Do you think that would get him thru this Summer and allow him to learn the correct cornering and jumping skills to move to the YZ.
Would a yz85 be a better choice since it requires a little more thottle control to stay on the pipe?
I really wont be wasting any money on the 85 because my 11 year old might take it over, even though I am building his TTR125 into a full BBR equipped Cross Country bike. He seems to be a natural 4stroke thumper lover.
I hate this too big/too little delimma.
Oh if a new bike is suggested it has to be Blue or Yellow as that is what we sell.
