Looking dirt bike this winter.I would pefer the 85cc bike since it would fit in my van but I am worried about it not being enough power to haul around a 200lb rider.Id just like to keep up with my buddies 200cc Yamaha Blaster.

Go with a KX 100. I wiegh 220, and it rips. The 85's are a little small, 125's are too big for the power they put out. KX 100 is perfect.

The kx100 only has 3" of over all length and 2" of extra gound clearance.Pretty much the same wheel base.Ill look them up and thanks for the input but I think the 85's would easier to find cheaper since there is alot of them around.

PLUS YOU CAN PUT A BIG WHEEL KIT ON IT FOR CLEARANCE(85)..

I had a 2003 RM 85L big wheel and i weigh 175 pounds and my uncle had a 2005 blaster he weighed 180 pounds i beat him every time pretty easily.

85cc MX bikes are fast and vicious. They feel alot more vicious than a 125 as they weigh less. there isnt much difference between them really just the 125 is nicer for jumping and stability. 125 IMO is easier, but the 85s are damn good fun:YEAH

I had a kx 100 and it was a great bike. I only weigh 130 and i moved up to a 125. I didn't have a problem on it. I race it in the 125 class.

200lbs on a 85.........WTF dude.
