First off. (I) would not want that pipe there. And it looks like its low. But between the 2 That KX is fast. Also looks like its sitting low in the rear and it was lowered by linkedg or somthing. Really need a better pic. Can you afford a YZ 85?  

no but i think i might just skip this bike and not take a risk on buying it and just buy a bike next spring when i have like 1500 bucks. i rode my friends YZ85 and it sat perfect but i need a bike i can really grow into. i'm hoping to grow like 5" this fall, and winter so i can just get a 125. or maybe even a 250 fourstroke.

After looking at that swing arm and pipe. I would pass as well. But at least you know it wasn't raced. Because if you ever came into a left hand sweep in a rut, That pipe woulld be GOOOOONE LOL. Looks lower then any skid plate and the only question would be do i take out my pipe or shifter or both!  

ehh. at 14 u should have had ur growth spurt or be expecting it pretty soon. but dont expect 5 inches over half a year. i mean i guess its possible. but not likely. maybe in a year u can get there. but if u do grow the 5 inches. i stand corrected.

anyways forget the growth spurt crap lets get back on topic. (seems like i say that "lets get back on topic" a lot more than i should )

Not to go off Topic but I had a growth spurt of like 2 inches when I was 15 and like 5 inches when i was 16. Everybody grows at differents times in ther life and different speeds.

ok, one more thing. do not call it a "lites" bike. call it a 125 or 250F. the AMA names are idiotic and retarded, and we should not blindly accept the height of stupidity.

WOW, Even Billy the kid dint want to stick up the thread. LOL.  

in reply to 1998kx100 question wether to go with a 1998 kx100 or 1999 rm85

i personoly wold not go wit ether they are way 2 old i just got off an 05 cr85 and have riden a crf150r and they are both great. but you should try to get something around 03 and up  

those qustions are great o ask the owner but take a look at there garage if it is all messy they probebly are not very good at ceeping things running good  

kawi's got a point. bubba posted a nice site to look at it if u havent seen it that gives guidelines on what to look for when checking a used bike.
