Dekker, The problem is with all youths riding 80cc is it gets boring. I got bored on the 125cc after a few months and couldnt wait to try the 500cc!It isnt like myself and other youths are forced to ride the 500cc's we do it cos we enjoy it and want to make it somewhere in the proper leagues of this sport. The under 15s has been great and it is brilliant to see some of the future talent improve meeting by meeting.I can only hope il be racing alongside or against some of them before im 15 for me it would be a great challenge. If everyone under a certain age rode smaller cc bikes it would be boring for them and also boring for the crowd, youngsters like new challenges. Thats the thing speedway is called speedway cos its about the speed and yes when your riding right the only way you can make it round those bends is by slamming the throttle on, thats the excitement in it. The thing that noone realises is smaller cc bikes are sooo difficult to slide. Yes bigger cc bikes are more difficult to control and as most know you need strength but smaller bikes are hard to slide because there just isnt enough power, they are good for training on but not racing.
