Which bike for my son?

plumbum · 06-22-2008, 09:02 PM

hey guys after the last family ride, both myself and my father in law realized that my son has grown(alot) since xmas and he doesnt fit the Honda 70 we got him. as well with the experience he has gotten already i kind of feel he is ready for a mid size bike. anyway he now weighs in at 104lbs and 5 ft exactely. i have narrowed it down to 2 different bikes. here is the link.

what i am looking for is something that will last him at least until he is 13. he is 10 now. some of my concerns with the 150 is that it weighs about 50 lbs more. as well it has quite a bit more power compared to the 100. and more susp travel, which i think is good. anyway what are your thoughts on it. thanks

eattheweak · 07-29-2008, 11:38 PM

the 100 will be a good size

it suits him very well and he says it is easier for him to ride. probably because his kness arent hitting the bars. lol.
