I'm young myself. I would love to own an R myself. I dont beat the hell out of them. I know if I do an something major breaks, chances are that I will not have the $$$$ to fix it. I am 23 and hope to own an R by time I'm 25. I have nearly completed the restoration of my 1980 ATC 110. next year the BigRed will be restored. Also I have a 1986 Yamaha YFM 225 that will be restored. Sorry for the rambling. the kid that got the R for the 125 dirtbike, that would piss me off to no end. If that was me I would have beat his @$$ over that one!
