[QUOTE="MikeinFresno, post: 43793, member: 40"] 230 are turds and way heavy KTMs are very tall but powerful 4st 250 is heavy compared to a 2st 125 get a bike with linkage and its much easier/cheaper to lower it Ive been thru this. If you want to do it, I too would get a full size bike, 125 or 250F, and have it shortened a couple of inches and then when he gets taller in a couple of years put suspesion back to stock and freshen the motor. Withj a non-KTM you get linkage and the links make it very easy to lower. The forks have to be done professionally tho or it wont be right. Probly looking at $500 for links, front shorten and valve and correct springs for his lite weight. [/QUOTE]
