[QUOTE="FruDaddy, post: 1172168, member: 63076"] A local kid in my area got a 150R a few months ago (I have been told that it was his first bike). When I saw him ride, it was pretty clear that he couldn't. The bike was just too much for him. He no longer has the bike, and is now enjoying an 85. I can understand the dislike for 2-stroke, but they do make better riders. The popularity of the 4-stroke bikes is (IMO) due to the fact that they are easy to ride. This means that you don't need nearly as much skill to think that you are fast riding one. If you can ride a 2-stroke fast, you will shred the track on a thumper. From a parents perspective: with the retail tag on a 150R, your parents will want it to last longer before you need another bike. But you will outgrow it as quickly as you would an 85. If you bring options to your parents, armed with the knowledge that you will need another bike within 2 years, then you are more likely to get that. Let them know ahead of time that the 85 class bikes are not suitable for riders over 15, but you are not sure that you are ready for a full sized bike. Show them the bikes that you are interested in on the manufacturers websites, and let them know that a used late model is OK. Basically, it will show them that you are taking their finances into consideration and they will be more willing to replace your bike when you are ready to step up. [/QUOTE]
