Beta 200 for a 11YO

[Findlay70]

HI -

My 11 year old rides/races a KX85. We ride at altitude (Utah/Colorado).

I want to get him a trials bike to learn the slow stuff. Would a Beta 200 be manageable..? 

Thanks

Yes.A slow throttle might be a good idea.

Depends on the kid. My son was like 5`7 at 11. My grandson is 4`5. Nothing wrong with a Beta sr 80, or a 125 either. The full size 80 is stll big for my grandson.

I think he is speaking of long-stroke throttles that are generally used to ''calm'' nervous motorbike. In Domino's range they are black intead of beeing white.

I have in mind their stoke is something like 120 degrees instead of 90 usually.

That's right,the tube that the grip goes onto is white,fast throttle is black

Fast was white and now black is slow on my 300 after changing it. Peel back the grip and see what colour it is.
