[QUOTE="badseed, post: 185425, member: 2846"] Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum. I'm in southeast Michigan, and joined because I need a bit of advice on what bike to buy...and maybe another question or two :smirk: If I should post this somewhere else :sorry: please point me in the right direction. :thumb: I'm looking to buy my son and myself a couple used dirtbikes to play around on this summer. Trail riding only... wanting to buy 2strokes, liquid cooled only, and as new and well maintained as I can find...in my budget... Looking to grab myself a 250 (Cr / Yz / Kx / Rm) best and newest I can find in my budget... Now, for my sons bike, that is where I'm looking for opinions... bought him a Yamaha Pw80 when he was younger and he rode it for a few years (out grew it) now hes been without a bike for a few years. He's now 15 (has his permit and drives the car/truck both automatics). Drives the snowmobiles every winter but he's never used a clutch on a bike (He's never tried/had the chance to try) but thats not a issue (he will catch on quick)....he is 5'8" and growing and is 179lbs I'm wondering if I should start him off on a (Cr / Yz / Kx / Rm) 80/85 or the bigger 125? 5'8" and 179lbs and growing!!! Is he already too big for the 80/85cc bike? Going from a last bike being a Pw80 to jumping on a Yz125 is a huge difference. All that Power/speed he's not going to be expecting :eek: (same for his bike...as new and well maintained as I can find...in my budget) So what do you all think? 5'8" and 179lbs.....The 125 or the 80/85? another question if I could.... Trail riding only.... what spare parts does the casual riders want to keep with them while trail riding. besides extra spark plugs and a tow rope? what do you all keep on hand/back at the truck as far as spare parts go.... Thanks for any opinions/replies.... Thanks for letting me join :thumb: [/QUOTE]
