What kind of dirt bike should I get my son?

Question

Looking for a decent beginners bike for my 4 year old son. Any advice on what kind to get him? I know nothing about the different brands of dirt bikes, and I don't want to end up with a piece of c**p... Any advice would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Magz is right on the money, CRF50 all the way and maybe start with the training wheels until he is comfortable with the brakes, gears, etc.

Answer 2

i think 4yrs old is too young to start busting up his body

! get some good insurance and be ready for the worst ! you need to be real ! he could be just fine ,he could be killed! just be prepared .

Answer 3

Yes the Honda CRF 50 aka XR 50 is the most reliable bike out there. It will last for many years. The Yamaha PW 50 also works very well for smaller kids. Both have training wheel kits etc. just buy the newest bike you can afford. Do not by imported stuff from China.  Make sure if buying used that to CRF 50 was not owned by a teen, many riders use the CRF 50 for a pit / play bike. My son has both of these bikes he loves his PW the best,it is a little smaller. The PW is a Two stroke oil injection, the CRF is a four stroke straight gas. The PW is one speed the CRF is a three speed. Both have automatic type clutches.

Answer 4

a honda 50 would be an excellent first dirt bike...

you can get them fitted with training wheels or even grab handles so you can help him lean..

hondas are well known for reliability.
