Best CRF70 Supermoto for indoors

Hi All
I'm looking at buying a bike to use on a Monday night at the Pitbike nights in Swindon to keep me going over the winter whilst my race season's over

I've seen a few for sale (new), but there's quite a lot of variation in the prices and specs, and could do with some advice and what's good and what's not.
The prices seem to range from around £950 up to around £1500.
My boy's a big 11 year old, so I don't want something massive, and we sat him on a bike that had I think an 82mm seat height, which seamed just about ok, but wouldn't want to go much higher
The one's I've seen are:

M2R Racing K140SM
https://www.funbikes.co.uk/p4420_m2r...140sm-pit-bike

Slam MSR140

CW140R

LMZ RFZ Elite
http://cwbikes.co.uk/store/#!/LMX-RF...egory=22407640

Stomp Motard 140 (which when you add Mag Wheels and axle sliders is best part of £1500)

Are there any others I've missed, or can someone recommend me another brand that's worth looking at

I'll be sharing the bike with my son, and although we're not looking at going racing initially, it'd be good to know that we could if we wanted too one day and have a reasonably decent bike that wouldn't need much spending on it to have it race ready

Re: Best CRF70 Supermoto for indoors

Hi

Any of the crf bikes are good, they are all basically the same, it all depends on spec. The M2R doesn't come with footrest sliders and the tyres are rubbish. You will need PMT tires, either slicks or Blackfires. The Blackfires are cut slicks and as a novice you will warm them up faster. You pays your money you takes your choice.

May I also throw in the mix the Parker racing bike. As a aside I have an M2R so know you will need to upgrade it a bit for racing My brother had a Parker racing bike which came with all the sensible upgrades for racing including the PMT tyres. PMT tyres on wheels depending on the wheels will cost around £130 for the tyres and anywhere from £100 to £200 for the wheels. So make sure whatever you buy comes with PMT tyres as standard.

Steven.
