So whats everyones thoughts on this bike. This will be my first dirtbike besides the fifty. I was thinking of a 125 but I really don't wanna spend that much, but I also want to buy new.($2000 difference)

I know it won't have as much power as the 125, but I really do't think I'll need it. Plus I'm a small guy....5'10 about 140-145. Yea I'm a skinny focker.

As far as the actual size of the bike....well i compared the specs and the CR85 Expert doesn't seam much smaller.

Opinions?

 

Oh and also I'm not gonna be hitting any reall big jumps and ****....mostly gonna be a trail bike/small MX tracks.

 

Think!!!!! Weight to Power ratio. You can always bore out the 85 to the three digits,and wont be as hevey as a 125.

 

Buy a new 125, but a leftover. Thats how i got my 125 and there a 2002 cr125 in a shop down here for 3300$ i think.

 

cr85's are pretty nice little bikes. Like someone said before, you can always bore them out when you get the money. Also, 5'10" 145 lbs? I'm 5'8" and 120lbs. Got a friend who's 6'2" and weighs 130. If I punched him in the gut I think he'd snap in half. LOL!

 

WOW, i dont know if i belive that. But o topic, you would need stiffer spirngs in the 85, they go about 160-200$ for a set.

 

just get a used 125 or a leftover. Your too big for an 80.
