[QUOTE="DEVONC, post: 1008359, member: 65820"] If he's 15.... Unless he's VERY small for his age or $ limited, why not just go for a 125? Or, if he won't be doing much MX work, how about a KDX200/220? By the time I started riding I was too big for an 80, but rode many of my friend's. By far, I'd think, the hardest bike to learn on. Powerbands are like a light switch. You really do either need to ride them "on the pipe" or not. Hit the powerband coming up the face of the jump, and look out! I'll never forget two "silver spoon" schoolmates of our's that came out to our local track. Brand new 86' YZ and KX 80's (D@MN! 20 Years ago!), fully decked out in matching riding gear, they certainly looked like they were gonna put a whoopin' on our older, slower bikes. The only place they even touched on the power of the bikes was on one long straight! Other than that they shifted just as the power came on!!! Sorry to digress, but that just soooo stands out in my mind. And I'll admit, riding them IN the powerband is very intimidating (and fast) for newbies. Had a tomboy-ish female friend who used to ride snowmobiles and streetbikes. Her husband got her a KX80 and they soon brought it back. She called it "violent" :) Ha- ha!!! [/QUOTE]
