Is the KLX/DRZ110 a better play bike than the CRF/XR50?
This is almost a toss-up. The two bikes (stock or modified) require a different riding style. The 110 rides more like a big bike. Your motocross skills apply directly to the 110. The 50’s are a little more like BMX. They’re more squirrelly and require a little more finesse to go fast. Currently the 50 has more hop-up parts available, but that is changing quickly. Both bikes are a lot of fun. The decision may come down to what your buddies will be riding. If you’re considering a Chinese knock-off bike, the Kawasaki KLX110 is definitely a better choice. Throw on a pipe and a bar kit and the bike will last forever and will have very good re-sale value. If you ever need parts your Kawasaki shop can get them quickly.
