Message: [QUOTE="Magellan, post: 1421133, member: 22253"] My almost 10 year old is getting a bit tall for his CRF70. He also doesn't like the shift pattern as he sometimes forgets he's already in first and down shifts to neutral. So, I am considering selling the CRF70 and upgrading him to an 80. That gets him larger tires and maybe taller bars (not sure there). It also gets him a 1-down shift pattern and clutch. A bit more power as well, though I doubt he'll notice. Cost is probably about $200 - $500 depending on what I can get for his bike (low hours and clean) and what I can find used. Option 2 is to pick up a crf80 engine, some bar risers, and a larger rim and lace his hub to it. Cost is probably about the same, depending on what I can get an engine for. What would you do? [/QUOTE]
