Whats the difference between a pit and a dirt bike?

Question

please help!

Answer 1

The original Pit Bikes were simply small motorcycles with a 4-stroke, 50cc motor used by adult-sized motocross riders to navigate the pits (an off-track area designated for setting up prior to an event). Pit bikes evolved to look more and more like mini versions of the factory MX motorcycles. Because racers like to race just about anything with a motor, it got to where the “big boys” started racing each other on these pint-sized pit bikes on small impromptu tracks.

      Of course, some guys got busy hopping them up with stuff like aluminum frames, tall seats, etc. –– but retaining the over-achieving motors (usually punched out to 110cc), the 10"/12" rear wheels, and the tossable proportions that make a pit bike such frickin’ fun. Because a track for these bikes doesn’t require a lot of land, backyard pit bike tracks have sprung up all across America.

      Pit bikes now have a full race series with numerous classes (even one for young ladies), five AMA National #1 plates up for grabs, and an exciting ArenaCross Pro & Amateur Series.

and then of course the dirt bike is well just your average dirt bike :]

Answer 2

a pit bike is a small usally tricked out mini bike to just ride around in the pits before and after the race. usally people wear no gear. just a little play bike to s***w around on. these bikes are usally crf/xr 50,70,80,100 or a kawasaki klx110.

a real dirtbike is an actual big bike that has a lot more power and probably needs some gear and experience to ride on. I guess you could classify a dirtbike as like a 250cc or higher. a crf150 and ttr125 could be classified as either i guess.
