New dirtbike, what do you reccomend?

Question

This is for my son who's about 5 ft 2 and 110 lbs.I'm getting him a brand new dirt bike for his birthday.He likes the klx 140 and I was wondering if that would be a good bike for him.He's going to mostly be doing trail riding.Not a whole lot of jumping but possibly some.Please tell me if you think so or not.If not what would you recommend.He's turning 13 and likes some power.He's also interested in the TTR 125, DRZ 125 and the CRF 100F.He's kinda a four stroke person.His friend who he's going to do most of his riding with has a YZ80.He's gonna need to keep up with him.What do you reccommend?

Answer 3

id get him a crf 150 the bikes you mentioned are ok but there not built to take that that much abuse they dont normally come with usd there more field/fun bikes and even though you say its just for trail riding the 150 will be better and if u ever do decide to race the 150 will be up 2 it.also the yz 85 will slaughter any of the bikes u mentioned

If this is his first bike, I wouldn't buy a brand new one, it's just going to get beat up.

If you're bent on new, any you listed would be fine.
