I am a 125 guy, really. I love 'em. They're cheap, and they are a riot to ride, but I still think, that if you are growing and moving up in bike sizes, I'd ilke to give my son a chance to keep up without working the snot out of his clutch. I remember my dad used to teach me to use the motor, and not to rely on the clutch. He would get upset with me burning up clutches on my CR, (so he bought me a KTM which never burned a clutch, that was 1984), he would say, "son, that clutch is not a turbo button, if you have to rev your engine like that with the clutch 1/2 way in, you've lost momentum." Of course, I used it like a turbo button anyway. Maybe I never burned up a clutch on that KTM because the brakes didn't work! In those days, they were still sorting out brakes, and the KTM's were grim. Did I get off topic, sorry.
