Im 13 years old, 108 pounds and 5'2. I have done my research on what the best 85cc bike would be for me and chose the RM85, now lets see what you guys have to say and if I should pick a different bike.

Wonderful bike - most rideable of all the 85's and bulletproof.  It's not the top pick for racing, but it's the best of the bunch for having fun trail riding, a little racing, and just messing around.

So true...!

The RM will be much easier to ride on trails, but the CR will whoop it on a track (provided the rider does his job).

i would go with the yellow one if ure gonna be play riding or o trails
but if ure mainly doing trakks and racing the honda is good but be careful with the condition of it as it might need new top/bottom end

How much experience do you have with 85cc bikes?  Because I gotta tell you - I've got a YZ85 and I've been riding bikes for decades..  that little bullet is VICOUS!  Scary fast!  The CR is the same way!  If you're confident in your abilities, get the CR. But if you want a bike to have fun on and learn how to ride better, get the RM...

This will be my first mx bike, I've ridden fourstroke through trails and hit some midsize jumps, so the rml would probably be the bes for me, I would ride a good variation of tracks and trails, probably more tracks and the rm is 2000, bit he will accept reasonable offers
