The Yammi is a great all around bike for MX. Second choice would be
the Suzuki. The Kawi is complicated to repair and the Honda is slow.

The lad has just graduated from a 2000 KX65[1] to a small wheel 2004
YZ85. Seems good to me. It is certainly providing as much go as he needs
at the moment.

I got it off Ebay, partly influenced by good experiences with working on
the faux WR250, and partly because there is a good Yamaha dealer near
the chateau.

Dare say a KTM would be better in an experts hands though. Every other
bike at the speed hill climbs is orange these days.

[1] BTW this will shortly be for sale on Ebay, with viewing possible at
J4M54 practice track, some time fairly soon.

That's very helpful, thanks.

It looks like a red Yammi is the best so far. But I've not read the other
responses yet :-)

No, it isn't. It's bullshit. None of them are slow, especially the
Honda.

You can't go wrong with any of them as they all gun for eachother when
they build 'em. To say "the Honda is slow" is probably the *stupidest*
response here yet.

Did you read this review?

That's LOTS more helpful than "The Honda is Slow" Duh!

Boy, I guess you showed me!
What's next? Are you going to say "Nyah nyah na Nyah Nyah?" LOL!
Don't be silly. Race all four, best rider wins, everyone (who's grown
up beyond 13 yrs. old, anyway) knows that. Time to grow up a little,
huh? Log out of daddys computer and go play, okay?
