Would the RM85 be to small for me?
Permalink  
 


So i weigh around 9 stone & i'm 5ft7 in height. I've been on the RM250 before & it's deadly & beautiful to ride but don't think a 8, 10 year old will be able to have ago.
I really wanted a rm250 but i also wanted something for my little brothers to have a good ride around on, The good thing is that the RM85 will be good for walking with to the feilds by mine & the kids can get on it but if i was to go on it will it be able to take my weight...
I would like to do a few wheelies & get a tad bit of air atleast!

So if you've ever been on a any of the 85cc Mx bikes let me know :P

i wouldnt let a 8 or 10 year old near an rm85, these are very powerful and peaky engines and as the powerband comes into play it will be a tad too much for them unless they have alot of riding experience before hand.


however, the rm85 is fine for you, will be lots of fun and you wont need any more power from it unless you are used to having more power from the rm250 you mentioned

Make sure you get the big wheel and not the small wheel, so it feels more like a 125/ rideable.

Cheers dudes!! Haha thanks for letting me know about that as i would have chucked them on it without knowing anything, The RM250 is great but i thought by getting a rm85 it would be easier to get to places & look after,
Big wheel is what i'm looking for dude, Make it all jazzy! Should have one by the end of january!!

Not in a straight line round a track but yeah can't remember all of it but there was
Fmf gold series+shorty end can
Ported and polished barrel and head
Vforce reeds
O/S piston
Boysen clutch
Boysen covers on both sides

Had excel wheels and all the rest, he spent stupid money on it

Then he got into pushbikes and swapped it for a orange downhill bike!
Stupid lad..

All depends on the rider really when it comes to bikes tho! I know someone who rides an 85 and he beats 450's! he's only 12, although he is a pro mx rider and and sponsored by team green!

And aww silly lad!! why swap something with an engine for something without one!?!
