*Dirt Bike Advice* KX100 or YZ85 or Other?
Son, you are as green as green can get. You need a low maintenance bike and the 230 fits that bill. Cheap to maintain..... Gas tires and oil cheap.
Sorry but I don't know what you fully mean by I am green. I want to get the yz125 but I don't know if I will be able to get it. I do need a cheap maintenance bike which is another plus for the two stroke because for me telling my parents I need a few tens more often is better than me telling them I need a few hundreds out of no where. And one of my friends is going to get a 230f so I want to be able to keep up with him. I rode his bike today and I got hang of the clutch almost instantly.

No matter what you end up getting you'll have a blast, I started riding when I was a kid and it pretty much changed my life. I would check out a few bikes and size them up by sitting on them and getting something that you can ride now and grow into to later.

OK. I grow fairly fast and I think I could get the yz125 so that when I grow, I just grow into it. I could also keep it up until I get on the road.
Get another 1,000 together and I'll meet you in Kingman AZ with a fresh restored 2004 YZ125.
Can't post pictures because this site has a size limit. But you can go to CL in Orange County CA and find it under restored. Or maybe I can post a link.

Start by riding off their tip toes.
Bummer......thought you had that all but sold, sounds like this kid will get more enjoyment from her anyways.
Lots and lots of tire kickers. Or should we just say, text and disappear. No big deal, I'll hold it until it sales or goes to my boys for a track bike.
Yeah the very very maximum I can go for I 1250 and that's still pushing it... :/ I found a few on Craigslist that are pretty close to my price range most from around 2001~2003
I am going to try and get a Yz125. The yz85 is good for the size I am now but based on what you guys think and what I thought about I would rather be growing into it then growing out of it. I will be buying it around June. It seems better anyways since one of my friends I will be riding with is going to be buying a crf230f or a crf250f.
