[QUOTE="bikepilot, post: 961217, member: 56976"] A KX100 (with the inverted forks) would be ideal and you can probably find one in your price range. Second choice would be a KX80BW (big wheel, same thing as the KX 100 only older, smaller bore and conventional, damper rod forks). My sister has a 1991 KX80 BW and my wife has 2003 KX100. With new fork and shock spring s (.39kg fork, 5.4kg shock) the 03 is an awsome playbike for me and works well for her. The previous version with the conventional forks is suprisingly good for its age, the motors are great. The forks flex a bit if you land hard and I'm not sure about the availabilty of stiffer springs. The forks don't respond well to high [fork] speed hits (no damper rod fork does) but work fairly well on low speed stuff like g-outs and jump landings. I belive 1995 was the first year of the inverted forked KX100. Other than the forks, not much changed from 1991 (possibly older, don't know) to 2000. In 2001 it got new bodywork that feels much better to me. The new bodywork is adaptable to the older bike as the frames are basically the same. Botom line, I highly recomend a 80 or 100cc two stroke MX bike as a play bike. Serious fun:) [/QUOTE]
