[QUOTE="CDA, post: 43782, member: 103"] [B]Buy the 250 4T.[/B] My son started on a PW50 when he was 4 and went to a KX65 to YZ85. When he was wide open on the 85, I was going to get him a YZ125, but he was too short for how pipey they are and I did not want him to soil sample all the time in the tight rocky sections because of the snap and short legs which would then make him frustrated. So I went with a YZ250F when he was 14. It was tall, but since he could lug it through stuff and not stall, he gained confidence. He rode that for 2 years and then wanted to get back on a 2 stroke, so I bought my 450 and rebuilt my YZ250 smoker and gave it to him. He is the happiest kid around now. With the added years of riding the 4 stroke and learning balance and throttle control, he adapted to 2 stroke pretty well. We did need to change the gearing back to stock since I had it geared a little tall at first, but now he is back to the taller gearing. If you have the ability to ride a friends bike, you should take advantage and see how he looks on it while riding. [/QUOTE]
