  2. Alan: Was thinking when I posted that I should have put more info... My son is 58" tall and weighs about 75 lbs. We mountain bike regularly on the trails on our property and he handles his bike well. We've started working on his bicycle trials skills this summer. We have a small motocross track in the yard and he rides a Suzuki DRZ110 on it. Although he is fairly new to the 110 he is learning quickly and has what I would call a reasonable amount of skills. He can sometimes kickstart the 110 to life on his own, it does have a reasonable amount of compression and a short kickstart lever which makes it difficult for kids to start. I think it weighs about 140 lbs (bit of a boat anchor, but a lot of fun none the less). He is somewhat aggessive as a rider, not afraid to try things. He has grown considerably each of the last 2 winters and it looks like he'll copy my genetics (I'm 6'3"). Having been in the bicycle business I have seen lots of parents try to put their kids on too big a bike to save a few dollars and I'm trying to avoid that. However, I am on a limited budget and although I really like trials my schedule over the next year or so (grad school, work) is pretty hectic and I know we won't ride much. I'm thinking I might find something now that we won't use for awhile. Eventually I want to get back in to trials myself and hope to have my son to learn and compete at trials also. We're about 45 minutes from Rising Sun Imports (GasGas) Thanks for the input and help.
  3. Hello all: I'm looking for a bike for my 10 year old son. I'm thinking about an 80cc 6 speed model with full sized wheels and would appreciate feedback regarding reliability, positives and negatives, height and weight of rider, etc. Thanks in advance for the help!
