neilnh Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 i would personally say the 80 as it will last him longer as he will probably grow out of the 50 sooner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Take a small 80cm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecat Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 The Main thing is making sure he can handle the physical size of the bike. The REV/EVO 50/80 are longer than the Auto's which is the thing they find a bit difficult to get used to. As for the engine... I'd say get what you can afford. An early REV50 in good nick is below a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 I made a mistake by stepping my son up to the full-sized GG 70 before he was ready. Too small is always better than too big. I think kids should be able to throw a bike around and be confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
