socalhodaka 104 Posted December 1, 2019 My son has now qraduated to a full size bike 18-21 wheel set. He still a little short in the leg and the 2009 Honda 230f fits the bill. Our first trip out to Superstition over Thanksgiving was a blast. With the damp sand he was able to make the highest peak. Now I can’t wait for some longer more adventurous rides. So we updated the bike with 2015 plastics, Guts seat cover, skid plate and new bars. The electric start is fantastic. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simicrintz 177 Posted December 1, 2019 I remember the bike size transitioning with my son (many years ago). XR100 at 8, CRF150 at ten, YZ250F at 13 (why a Yamaha, son?!), and currently on a KX450 (why a green bike, son?!) at 27. Those early year memories are ones that you will cherish forever, Kelly; good for you both!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 882 Posted December 1, 2019 Awesome, can’t go wrong with a CRF230. Happy riding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Champ 115 Posted December 2, 2019 I love the 230 platform, Had Suspension done "as much as possible", put a Golden Fattie on the front, she'll float. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oracle 195 Posted December 3, 2019 Best thing about them is he can ride it for the next 3 years and then you can sell it for the same amount you bought it for. Solid bikes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
