Question

What size motorcycle should I get for my 8 year old son for his first bike?

Answer 1

when i was around 7-8 i had a little 4 wheeler and my bro had a 3 wheeler

Answer 2

Honda CRF70F if you want an automatic clutch or a CRF80F if you want manual, you cannot find a more reliable kids bike.

Answer 3

well if i were you ,,go shoping for a bike and let him sit on the bikes and see which size fits him best ,id go with the 50cc and if thats to small go bigger and see what he can handle

Answer 4

yeah, the pee wee 80 ( Yamaha PW ) would be a cracking little bike to start on. Simple to use, but they handle ( almost ) like a proper bike ad will give him real bike control skills.

They are good for the parent aswell as they are simple and cheap to run and service.

Good luck, keep us up to date with his progress!

Answer 5

i started dirt biking when i was 8 years old and i had a xr-70 made by honda. i found when i road my friends bikes and they road mine, we all liked mine the best.

my best advice would be to go to the local dirt bike store have him find the biggest bike he can sit on. if he can sit on a bike and barely balance himself with maybe even only one foot, perfect!

Answer 6

you could start with a crf 80 just to see if he likes it or not. if you dont want t two weeler go with a 80cc raptor. my first bike was a yamaha pw80 and that was a great bike to learn on but the crf80 is better i now own a 08crf250x

Answer 7

When my son was 8y/o we got him a Kawasaki kx65..

Great bikes..
