kx 85 :S

after going to a race today and hearing all the two strokes and four storkes ripping up the local track thing i have decided to have a go and go for a realy bike lol in stead of a pit bike

i just realy wanted to know what the kx 85 are like compared to a 140 pit bike lol

i know im gunna get the "huge differece" and all that lol but do you reckon that some one that has got ust to the speed of the pit bike and knows preety much all the basics of riding and that could handle one

i have been offered £400 for my bike (this kid just realy likes the bike lmao) so i will get money there lol and i will be getting money for x mas lol so basicly i wanted to know if you think that a mid 15 year old could handle it basicly

i want to start racing basicly or atleast have ago at it if i can get transport and stuff


many thanks

matt

You know when the powerband is about to come in on a 2t
But really on a 2t you need to be in the powerband all the time
