What kind of bike should we get for my grandpa?

Question

I am looking to get a dirt bike for my grandpa so he can follow me around the track at our house he is 5'9" 170lbs I am looking for a four stroke (two strokes scare him) that has a mellow throttle response but still has power and is comfortable in the saddle and isn't extremely loud

Answer 1

look into lifan, they make a cheap bike that is quiet? My son has had 1 for 3yrs now and has not had one problem.

Answer 2

may I suggest a Yamaha R1 ...1000 cc of pure speed demon should get gramps heart rate up....let's hope he does not have a heart condition. I hope his medical insurance is paid up for when he comes off and breaks both hips. happy ridin' grandpaw !

Answer 3

CRF150F, mellow, decent power, not loud, easy to ride, 4 stroke, easy to maintain.

Or if he wants some more power, maybe a CRF230F is better suited to him.

They both have electric start, so they are very easy to use.

Answer 4

It would have been more helpful if you told us his age and physical condition.

I assume he won't be racing going flat out?  Maybe a Kawasaki KLX 140?  

Answer 5

get a bus or truck

Answer 6

Easy one...definitely go for a Honda CRF230 or Yamaha TT-R230. The CRF150 will be cramped for a 5'9" person. The 230's also have electric start which he would probably appreciate.
