Hey i am turning 12 years old i am 5ft and 48kg. I do not race I just ride on dirt places, I want lots of power and I have to keep this bike for 2 years so which bike is faster people say that rm85 have powervalves

What does bottom end and top end mean

Am i right a top end is quick of the line but i dont know what bottom end is, so how will a top end feel, and how will a bottom end feel

and which bike has more power, and goes faster

Thanks

They both have good power so pick the color you like the most. Which ever one you get just do good maintainance on it and you will be ok.  
I love this dirt stuff.

If I were you I would look at a Kawasaki kx100, the seat height is abit taller and for me weighing a 140 pounds standing at 5'4" the Kx was too small. If you get the Kx you will have some room to grow with the bike considering you will have it for 2 years. As for power the 100 has a little bit more then the 85.

parts are harder to get on the kx100 and theres nto to many around. however i agree zack in that it probably would be better to keep for 2 years as it would take longer to outgrow. but the yz has a really fun powerband lol ~pat
