CR150R for Girlfriend/Brothers

I think those bikes suck. They handle like a wheelbarrow and the power is not smooth.. . Best bike ever for a beginner is a xr 100 and you can find a good one for like 600 bucks.... An 85 would hurt a beginner as well just because they hit so hard and want to wheelie with a full size person on one. But this is just my opinion.

If it was me I'd rather start them on a 100 field bike than an 85, particularly if they're just going to ride now and again and not plan on racing in the near future. I feel that they're much easier to grasp...although not as quick they won't potentially scare your girlfriend or brothers off like an 85 may do. They may be easy for us guys to ride but they are still hard hitting for a complete beginner.
