Dirt bike or pocket bike which is a better gift and which is better on road plus off road???

Question

really is a dirtbike better than a pocketbike on grass and hard surface?

Answer 1

Pocket bike or pit bike?

A proper, genuine dirt bike has been the best prezzie I've ever got.

Definately a dirt bike, but if you want to ride it on the roads, you might want to consider an enduro-type bike like the DR650, BMW X-Challenge (if you're one of those people with money to burn) or perhaps a WR450 or CRF450X or a 530EXC-F, 630EXC-F. Any of these are top bikes. Maintenece will need to be kept up to them though.

Note: There has recently been released and ADR-Registerable Pit-bike

Answer 2

Pocket bikes are basically really small dirt bikes. They are the same pocket bikes are just smaller. Dirt bikes are bigger and much more fun. :D

Answer 3

I don't understand the appeal of pocket bikes.

They're as small as the bicycles clowns ride in the circus under the big top.

They have 6" wheels, no suspension, the engines are no bigger than a weed whacker and ware out twice as fast, close to impossible to get parts, can only be ridden on smooth pavement, cannot be ridden in the dirt or on grass, are not street legal, hazardous to your health (ever fall off one of those things doing 35mph?).

So someone please tell me, what is so fascinating about pocket bikes?

You can have more fun on a Stellar mini bike with a Briggs & Stratton engine.

Get a dirt bike, don't buy a toy.

Answer 4

Pocket bikes are too small  - the balance is harder and not as comfortable as a dirt bike.

Answer 5

Pocketbikes are more for smooth pavements, if you have lots of grassy and dirt areas, go with the dirt bike.

Answer 6

How is this a Motorcycle Racing question?

Answer 7

pocket bikes are a waste of money and time. Get a dirt bike....

Answer 8

I know a friend who just got a dirt bike for his birthday, and he says its the best gift hes ever gotten. Plus they are better offroad i believe.
