Hey everyone. My name is Taylor and i currently own a 2002 XR100 which is great but i am looking to sell it so i can buy a CR/RM/ or YZ 85. I grew up on quads and recently moved to dirtbikes. Ive been riding for almost a year now. I do lots of trail riding around my house but i would love to get into racing. Unfortunately I have not been riding lately due to a lung injury though.

This is an awesome site. I find all the stuff I need on here. And good choice with the whole switch from quads to dirtbikes! haha. Get healed up so you can ride! Being hurt sucks. dislocated shoulders dont keep me from riding! HAHA

hah i would ride but if i overwork myself i will collapse my lung even further!

What would you recommend the most? A RM, CR or YZ 85? I heard the RM has power valves which may make my transition from a 4stroke mini to a 2 stroke. I would love a 150rb but there so expensive!

yeah dont get hurt anymore! ahah not good. But Ive ridden every 85. Currently on a CR. My personal opinion, would be all the power is with the honda. Not just because I ride one. Compared to all the other bikes in top speed and power is deinately the honda. I like the feel of the KX too. Its comfortable. For the YZ..I think there good for fast riders. and RM I think lacks most power. just my opinion. The most reliable Id have to say is the yamaha. All bikes have their weak points though. The honda,the clutch parts arent made the best. The kawi,The motor isnt the greatest and lacks power. The suzuki lacks power and isnt comfortable. the KTM isnt comfortable AT ALL.ahah..and the yamaha is pretty comfortable but also lacks power. Until you mod them out then theyre wicked fast haha. My honda has been good to me so far for this race season. I race every weekend. I did have it bored out to a 96cc but it blew up ahah so i went back to stock. Just running an FMF shorty,factory connection suspension,and modded carb. I won alot of my races and get the holeshot about every race. ahah. If you need any info on a specific bike I'll be more than happy to help! P.S. the 150r's are fun as hell! they have wicked good roll on power but i agree,WAY to expensive

Thanks for the info! Im a really love honda but ive been told the cr85 isnt the best for beginners especially ones moving from 4 stroke playbikes. But whatever i find that i can afford it is for a while!

southwickmx338 · 09-08-2009, 07:16 PM

Oh beleive me...its not for beginners..ahah. Theyre really easy to ride. I love em!
