Worth it?

That's way too much money for a way too tricked out pit bike.

A YZ 125 or a nice used CR 125 would be perfect.

I agree with this 100%. The seller has certainly bolted a bunch of crap on that TTR, but it doesn't change the fact that it is a glorified minibike with an air cooled engine, drum brakes front and back, and a third of the suspension travel when compared to an 8-10 year old 125cc motocrosser. That is bad enough, but add in that at least around here the 125s are going for about half that price too. An older 125 will be ridiculously more capable and he will still have money left over for all the gear he will need.

You said the price is a bit of a stretch for the mom. Do they realize they are looking at another $300-$500 for gear on top of the price of the bike?

X a million. 6' is waaaayyyyy to big for a minibike, which is what that TTR is. He'd hate it in about 15 minutes.

The boy needs a 125 mx'er.

Trail riding or MX duty? Trail riding I'd go a DRZ200 or similar-electric start/4 stroke FTW. Otherwise the 125/250 would be advisable.

That Yz 125 that tard posted is nice. The cr85 looks sweet as shit, but is small if he's already been riding...

I'm a fan of the TW200. The DR is a tad tall.

The CR85-BW is for a 14 and under.

Not a kid who's already 6ft tall.

He has been riding with his friends and I think either thats the type that they have or his eyes got all glossed over with all the added bolt on shit. I need to talk to the kid and let him know thats half the fun of those little rides is tinkering with it yourself and making it custom your tastes

The kid is 14 years old, just wears size thirteen shoes and is taller than Gas by like 3 feet

Must suck to have a kid's johnson in your face every time you talk to him. The kid is 6 fucking feet tall, has clown feet and "wants" a small ass pit bike?

he likes it, just saying
