My son went from a Yamaha pw 50 to an xr 80. Little 80 was fun even with me on it

Helpful to have your son's age, height and riding experience with these bikes as I consider what to get for my grandkids - boys are now 6 and 8 (unsure of height) and girls are 10 and 14. So far they've ridden a JR 50 and Yamaha PW 80. JR is a hoot; PW 80 is really soft suspension, even for a light boy.

I've got four sons. They are 7, 9, and the twins - 11 years. Not long ago we started to ride. For first, i bought an old honda ape 50. It wasn't in a good condition, but we rebuilt its engine, fork and this mini bike runs well now. This was the best decision, to take the ape first. Easiest variant of motorbike to be controlled dy a boy. But the guys got bored soon. They learned it well in a couple of months. They could make different exersises on it, they feel this bike and i decided they grown up to have something bigger. The next level was XR80 of our friends. It's amazing bike, frankly speaking. But my boys wasn't exited with it as i expected. I bought Yamaha TTR125. That was the Thing! We just started the season, spring comes in april here, in Moscow. Elder guys are learning to jump over the log, to uphill, etc. This bike is like an another univers for them. But to be honest, tecnically, i like honda much more. Honda bikes were build by wise engeniers, it's much reliable. Sorry for my english, i tried to wright without translators. ))

you should move those bark busters down on your xr80. If he goes over the bars with the busters that high he will break his wrists!

Xr100 is such a fun bike I’ve had one for years and even with my wr250r it’s still super fun to go out and rip around on the little 100

I wish I had this many options of what to ride haha

Nice bikes! I have big bore 2 strokes! I have a 1986 CR500r and a 1991 KX500. Front tire pops up in every gear on both bikes.

My son is almost 12 & he got his first bike right before Christmas 2005 kx85..

I wanted one since I was 8 and yesterday a got one! ttr 125 2002

Very helpful video, thank you guys. We are adding to the fleet, and looking at either the KLX110 or the ole XR80 which are same seat height. I kno the xr/crf80 is much less power and kick start but I want my little rider to learn how to rail with low power and have it fully tapped LOL. Maybe we should get both LOL.

Cool blue bike start

good video thanks for the review. me myself i have a ttr 125 and im 13 and it works great. i will be upgrading soon tho.

When I was 18 years old, I was riding an XR 80 1993 for fun and it was a little too much work to get it to run but it has some kick to it

I'm 15 and getting my first dirt bike this week

I rode an XR80 Couple days ago it was a fun bike

i have a ttr125 le and im 12 and its really nice

I went from a raptor 90 when I was 10 to a fuzzy 450 when I was 13

Xr went to crf in 04

Slap a rear tire on the front of the xr 80 r i did it it works great.

Thanks for the time making this.

Thanks for doing this! I’ve been debating with my beginner child and this video was super helpful!!!

My 7 and 9 year old boys love their TTR90 but feel after a 1 1/2 riding seasons they are itching for more power. I need something with more power but really not physically bigger as they are small for their age. I think something like KX65 it too much for them and not sure I want them to learn a clutch on a 2 stroke. Any suggestions, the TTR90 has pretty good power but know I need to get something larger for this summer. I'll have to look at the KLX110 I think the dimensions are only a tad bigger? UPDATE: 2023 - rebuilt a CRF80 for my boys and they are absolutely loving in. On the look out for another and/or maybe a CRF100. Hope you guys are still riding and enjoying the sport!

I have a xr100r they are awesome

I went from a pw 50 to an 87 yz125. I had to learn fast I was 15 though

Just picked mine up today

I’ve been wanting a dirt bike since I was 8 lol

I have a 2005 honda crf150f and i got it for 450 dollers and it came with the KEY

im 59.5 inches and have a 2013 ttr 125le and it is an amazing bike

Very helpful god bless!

Hello how are you? How old is your son in the video and how tall is he? I'm looking for a motorcycle for my daughter but I don't know if the xr 80 or the xr 100 is the right one, your answer would help me a lot, thank you very much

I’ve been saving up for years to buy my own bike and my brother figured out I’ve been saving up and just gave me his old xr100

Great video! Looking to get my 9 yr old one soon and needed this info. ty.

60 in is the perfect hight for him on the ttr 125 because I have the same bike and I'm 60 in tall and It fits me perfectly

First bike I had was a pw50 when I was 4

Thank you!

Great Video, Thanks Guys.

Im 10 my dad got the ttr90 for my brother and one of the xrs for me for me they work great

thanks helped alot

Thank I'm might get xr 100

It was 2004 they changed it to crf100, i have an 07 crf100 and a 03 ttr90

Nice Yamaha 125

Bear on roller skates im 5 foot 7 and I ride my little brothers ttr 90 around all the time

Only problem with the ttr125 is it’s a whole lot slower than any xr100

My first bike was a ttr 125 i was 5 4 and i still have it

Xr 100?? Legendaria!!😎😎

Ill buy the ttr90 from u

You should get a eazy clutch it make it a lot easier

Thanks!

Now ur one fun dad letting ur 10 year old drive this bikes unfortunately my dad is extremely boring and doesn’t let me drive anything

I got a yamaha ttr 125 L 2007

I’m 5’2 /5’1 and I like the way 80 looks on him and he’s just barely shorter than me

1.29.23 no war

How tall is he

No hate but he really needs to stop revving them out when he first starts them. It needs to warm up for 8-10 minutes

I wish i had the money for a bigger bike, still in highschool and im 18 5’11” and 200lbs and still riding on a ttr90 that i got for free lmao, nice bikes tho

I have the same grips from the ttr 90 on my crf 250r

My suspenshon on my 125 ttr l is very good

Why didn’t you start the bike 🏍

Great vid

You just have to make the forks on the TTr make stiffer

5.6.22 no war

Buy a crf150 so you won't have to worry about getting a new bike any time soon

It will be good for the 125 how much do you want to sell it for Columbus you can

The XR80 is miserable to find a front tire for! For a bike that was produced for over 20 years with the same size tire you would think there would be some choices. Last year I bought my kids and myself some trail bikes. I got my 8yr old daughter a TTR50E, my 12 year old son a TTR125LE, and myself a TTR230. My son can ride my 230 no problem, but like yours has to tip toe it a bit. For me the bike is perfect and I'm 6' even.

Is a xr100 about the same size of a ttr125

Hello I was wondering if your interested in selling your xr 100 if you do respond we will talk about prices thank you

I would sell my soul to devel to get one of those damn xr 80s and I’m 14 will fit on a 250

the xr 80r is way to fast for a 80

Fix those barkbusters!!!

Get 50s 65s 85s those are for beginners he has been in for 3 years get him a 65 race bike

Any thing to say

THESE ARE PITBIKES

Get him a 65 2 stroke

I am 4 11 and i want a ttr110 or ttr125 . Which one should i get

hi guys. Im 10 and im thinking about getting a ttr125 im a little taller than average

Those Bark busters are way too high

My brother is 10 years old he is 4.7 feet what dirt bike is good for him?

I have a xr100 2003

there all the same bike realy i just see it as a waste just keep the xr100 and sell the rest

I'm 12 and use the kx 125

How old is the kid

I'm 9 and my bday is 1/31 ima be ten. I am planning to get the xr100 or xr100r I'm saving for xr100. Let me know if this is a bad choice.

If it's easy, then why does he have to jump on the kick start on the XR100

you see the problem here is, that theyre two strokes

My ttr 110 smaller than that xr100

If he is having trouble trying to kick start that 100 he don't need it yet

im 11 and I can flatfoot a 125

can I have one

How fast will ttr 125 do

NO GASSSSSSSSSS!!!

I am looking for a xr100 like he has I am 10

I have a ttr 90 for sale.illinois.

I thought xr s were 2 strokes

Leave the ttrs!!!!! They are so bad

Dirt bikes are trail bikes, not mx bikes. 3'-4' jumps seems pretty much to ask of a trail bike, that's abuse.

Noobs

How tall is he
