If your kid is growing taller but is still not ready to take the next step up the displacement ladder, you need not worry. Suzuki still manufactures an L version of the RM85, loaded with bigger wheels and sporting longer suspension travel, a taller seat and of course better ground clearance.
The engine remains the revered 85cc 2-stroke mill, with plenty of punch and grit for aggressive off-road riding. Taller riders will enjoy better ergonomics, while remaining within the power specs of the 85cc class and being able to hone is their skills even better before jumping on the 125ers, the first real-deal dirt racing monsters.
