Help with dirtbikes please?

Question

my son is 11 and i need a good dirtbike for him. it needs to be high performence and low cost, his first dirtbike. please help!

Answer 1

Shop at some dealerships (bring your son to see what he fits on).

The salesman will answer your questions.

Answer 2

yamaha yz 85 or KTM sx 85 they would be the best ones if you want to start him on a two stroke

Answer 3

a high performance bike for a first bike may not be such a good Idea... unless he is planning to race the ttr 125 or crf150F are great first bikes.. the CRF150R  is a rocket ship of a bike and a full on race machine.  your best bet would be a used 65cc 2 stroke and ease him into racing after a year or so step him up to the 150R.....

Answer 4

Yeah the two biggies are how tall he is and if it is for motocross racing or just trail riding.

Answer 5

ktm, honda, kawasaki, suzuki or yamaha 85 will do him fine

Answer 6

any of the japanese bikes or KTM will do just fine......

Answer 7

You should perhaps state how tall your son is and what use the bike is going to be put to as that all makes a difference as at 11 he could race several different bikes and if tall enough I would suggest a crf150r, but that would only be any good if he is tall enough.  If not racing he could go with the crf150f which is a great bike, but then my son raced his 65cc till he was 13 as he was small.  

If he doesnt want to race and just wants a basic trailbike then you could look at the ttr125 or the klx125.

So add a bit more detail
