is a cr50 that much better than a xr50?
i wanna pick up a 50 this weekend
i found a 2003 xr50 for $900 bucks at a shop about 3 hours away from me
will a xr50 be good enough to practice balance point on and mess around with for summer or should i really try to find a cr50?
i know nothing about these bikes

Re: is a cr50 that much better than a xr50?
an xr50 and a crf50 are the same thing just the crf's are the newer 2005 and up. 50s are cool but honestly ur better off gettin a ttr125, that will help you with clutch control and u can roll some nice stoppies on it as well as good good brake control. and 900 for an 03 50 is wayyy too much money, they only cost 1200 new. you can usually pick up 125s for 900 to 1500 and youll have alot more fun on that then u will a 50. ive had em both and the 125 is way sweeter.

+125's are a blast, I cant wait to get myne in a couple of weeks. Get a little chinese version for like 500 bucks too cause you know your going to beat the **** out of it lol you can buy two for what you would a regular one lol

and you can learn better throttle control on a 125 or higher and when you switch to a big bike your throttle wont be choppy as hell comin off a 50

I stunted my old fiddy for a year and a bit
first month on a FI 600RR and my wheelies were bouncing up and down like a jack russel on E.

But you do get to learn rear brake control esp footbrake. There right tho you gotta be choppy on a 50 and smooth on a big bike.
But I still love my 50. I put an 88RH kit in it and its so much ******* fun and alot less trouble!
