The daughter says she wants to start looking for a larger/faster bike. What would be a good next step up ? I haven't decided to go two stroke or four stroke or a bike setup for Hare scrambles or one for Moto-X.
Anyone want to give me some choices ? I know there are alot of Dads that have faced this decision before and will have some good and bad stories of their choices so they are also encouraged. Let me know what you have gone through .
Thanks so much,
Raz

A little more detail would be nice. What is she riding now? How old is she and how tall?

TT-R 90 or KLX/DRZ 110 if she's tall enough.

If she is looking to race, then any of the 3 65's will do. The KTM is the taller of the three. There are linkage arms available to lower the KX/RM 65.

For just general all round riding, those that Vic listed would be fine. Plus more and more companies are making aftermarket parts to beef up those bikes.
