Bike for my boy.

Rowdy-Yates:
I have a 13 year old son. This would be his first bike. He is 5'5" 130 lbs. What bikes do you all recommend? I was thinking a XR200 or a 2stroke 80cc. If he could handle it I would give him my 125 then I would have to get something new right hehehe.

gwcrim:
Is he an aggressive person?  You'd really have to be fearless to start out on an 80-85cc race bike.  A Yammy RT180 is cheap and friendly.  I'd avoid 4 strokes.  They're hard to start and heavy.  But good starter bikes, none the less.

KXcam22:
R-Y,
  I would suggest a slightly lowered KDX200.  Peppy bike that handles great. Easy to lower a few inches. Cam.

mikesmith:
My wife is 5'2,100 or so pounds and chose a KX85.You can tame it with a fly wheel weight,carb spacer,then add power as he gets better.Or maybe a KX100?

Rowdy-Yates:
This is his first bike! Just to say this again.
My first bike was a 1983 yammer hammer yz80.
