The farm sparks MX interest

[REDRIDER]

After an awesome weekend up at the farm our 14yr old has finally caught the bug, he wants in on the offroad mayhem. Im a little reluctant to buy him anything too expensive as teenagers change there minds more frequently than their underpants. So, Im looking for a bike to give him that opportunity, obviously KDX, springs to mind, oldschool 125 maybe, but the guts of it is I dont want to spend a whole heap of money for something that may be out of fashion next month. Do you know of anything going a reasonable price. $500-$1200 ish.. chur chur.

and here I thought you were going to offer me the other half of the KX pipe you gave away earlier LOL, he has been riding mine but really just want to see if hes serious about it. Who knows could be a passing phase. Dunno what ya get for 1200 bucks though, scraping the bottom of the barrel me thinks..

mate, you can get something for that. who cares what as long as it goes. I think i paid 250 for my first bike and she was a twin shock xl200 weapon. I set land speed records on that sucker. Shit i was probably a better rider on that than i am on the 450

Those old WR200's were a dam good bike. Dad had one exactly the same as that and it never missed a beat. being a 200 it was a bit more usable than a 125 MX bike. They are a bit heavy though. How tall is he etc??? I had an old IT175 exactly the same as that one. Classic bikes. Mine was for ever fucked though. so many electrical issues..... And a pain with the chain on the wrong side!!
