My son is 8 years old, 4’8” tall and 80 some lbs. He’s been off his Polini for over a year and road it just last Sunday. We’ll he’s outgrown it for sure, so the question is what bike to replace it with. I’m in SoCal so I was hoping for a green sticker bike meaning 2003 and back and I was looking at the KX or RM65, KTM’s are out of my range right now. I may only get 9-950.00 for his X3-Works. I’m wondering if he’ll be too big for the 65 or outgrow that in one year too. I guess it’s like buying shoes, not in price, but in rotation. If we stay with the 65 we’ll be looking at 2000-2003 and would these be competitive in the stock 65 class with the newer 65’s? Also, he’s never worked a clutch or gears, so that will take some time to get down. He’s a good rider, but all he’s had to deal with is the gas and brake to this point.
Thanks for any input.
