My boy is a casual rider on his TTR 90 (68 lbs almost 5 ft). My co worker is selling this bike that I know has never been raced and I think properly maintained. This would be his first experience with a real clutch. Is this a decent trail bike ? I want to go 2 Stroke for weight. Don't know how much bottom these things have. What do you guys recommend ? KX, RM ?
Hey Kevin from what a friend has told me the KTM are fast but they are made for racing annd need/require top end care often. My grandson ride a KX65 in the trails and he does very well with it. I got it used and after a few hours we had to do top and bottm ends. Since then (about 20 hrs) its been fine. It too is very peaky on the power delivery. I don't think any will have much bottom end to be honest. Have you thought about the TTR125's? A few club members kids ride them and they seem to do very well even when they lap our MX track. I do hear you on the 2-stoke lighter thing I will be going through the same thing with my grandson after his 65 plays out.
Thanks John maybe I'll just stick with the 90 for a while longer. I also have a friend with a CRf 80 which might work better...
