Default Value of 2007 MC 125??

What do you folks think the value of a super sharp '07 MC 125 would be? I'm again thinking of getting my 13 year old son a full sized bike. I'll need to shorten the boing, temporarily, the boy grows an inch a month it seems.

I feel your pain. My son grows so fast I'll buy him shoes a size too big and they still wont make it 4 months. While he is my size I'm buying him some really nice stuff and now I'm kind of hoping he will outgrow it before he wears it out.

It's fun though. Poor kid is 5'3" and 85lbs with a size 9 shoe. He's too big and skilled for his ttr 125, and too short for the 125. KTM 105's are more money than 125's, but they are the right size. CRF 150F's are just more of the same, but porkier. I remember riding an 80 ' til I was way too big for it. I don't want my son to endure the same.

I kind of have the opposite problem with the bike son fit. My son is a raw beginner so I'm going to add a flywheel weight and gear my 200 down a little so he wont stall it out too easily. He just turned 15 and is 6'4" and weighs in the 170s so a small beginner bike is not possible.

KX 100 would work.

Hi Mike,
Another option - I have a line on an extremely low hour kick-start crf150f - you could go with this and then easily sell it later on when he wants to move on to something more aggressive. It is owned by a doctor and was ridden 4 times with his son.
