I would go with the klx 110 for sure, lot more aftermarket parts for it. An your line up of parts is a great start, I wouldn't go with the rear stiff spring though. From what I read its a waste of money, your better off buying a rear shock. Fox makes an awesome rear shock for the 110 or if your not trying to spend that much DNM rear shocks are good as we'll.

 

BBR is over-priced in my honest opinion and you can save a LOT of money on your price list if you do some brand swapping. Try TB for all your stuff, it's essentially the same thing and as long as you aren't going MENTAL, it'll last. Either way you go, make sure you have fun w/ it!

 

Personally id go crf70 Because they arent as common with that in mind there are virtually no parts for them. Its a lot of one off or making stuff work/ searching for parts that do.

In your position I'm saying 110 all day long. The mods will come cheaper and you can piece it together as you get more money. Bbr makes very high quality parts and all the guys in there are great to deal with. If your budget allows go bbr if not get what you can to get you by till you can afford what you ultimately wanted. Be very careful though this can turn into an addiction and we wouldn't want to see a 14yo on interventions.lol
Go 110 get a cradle and some better suspension and ride the piss outta it.

 

Most 50 parts are bolt on for the 70, and personally I think a full mod 70 looks way better than a full mod 110

 

Klx110 have more parts available but I get tired of seeing them. I'd say crf70 they look better IMO, there may not be as many parts but then you can fabricate parts, which gives it that extra pop.

 

This is true but at 14 how many people have the ability to fab stuff. Not saying the op doesn't just generally most 14yo don't.
Most 50 parts that bolt on are gonna be like replacing stock parts with pretty ones, No real advantage. Maybe a +4 50 swingarm but they aren't all that common to run across the forks will be short. It'll be a lot of run around, this part + this part = this setup. A lot of people are running stock 70 parts on their mod 50s for a cheaper alternative.

Not saying don't go 70 just in my opinion for a first mini I wouldn't without a little bit of homework so you know what your getting into.

 

True ^^

 

Gotta go 110 for cost if nothing else. There are tons of them so you should be able to find one used within your budget and then when it comes to parts there are so many options in the aftermarket world as well as used parts for sale.

 

Oops guess I should have read the OP's post.

 

Good point, I can weld well, but dont have access or skill to operate any machines so without one, the other is pointless. The only thing that makes me want the 70 is that 1:they are more unique. 2:They are cheaper to find clean and stock. Thanks for the help guys, I think I will end up going with the 110, hopefully I can find one that already has most of the stuff on it so I can save more. As you could assume, I have other big things I need to work hard towards like getting a 125 and a truck soon, it goes with out saying that "money will be tight" haha.

 

i feel ya just get a cheap 110 and stock/mod it, youll be the happiest person ever and have the biggest smile on your face every time you ride it

 

There is plenty of stuff out there for a 70 to keep you busy for a while. I don't have a ton in my 70 & it's a fun little bike. Big bars, springs, big bore kit & you're good to go. If you want a 70 get a 70. Just another option.

 

70's look better IMO if done correctly.

Hey what swingarm and some other parts do you have on your 70 ? I'm doing up my sons XR and after Xmas he's going to love it , so far put 1000 in parts and in need of upgradeing suspension so need a cheap set up !

 

It'd cost me my whole body for a bike like that Jordo ! That thing is tight ! I do like the idea of the CRF, but it'd be super expensive to do them like that, and what I am hearing is that on my budget it wouldn't be worth it.
