xlr8tn Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 This fall I'm going to buy a dirt bike for my son. He's been riding the 4 wheeler for a couple of years now and he's begging for a dirt bike. I'll take him around to some places and see what fits him but was wondering what a good starter bike is for a 7 year old? 80cc or so? Been a long time since I've even looked at dirt bikes. They still make the yz 80's? I'd really like to talk him into a larger quad because he could grow into that easier and I wouldn't have to buy bikes every couple of years. He's riding a 110 now and I was thinking a 250 would last him several years. That being said he's really wanting a bike so it'd be a tough sell on another quad. I'm the dad so I could always pull trump and say "quad or nothing" but that's kind of a shitty way to do it. I want him to get something that he's gonna be happy with. He's a very mature rider for his age and power wise I wouldn't hesitate at getting him the largest he can fit on. The problem is he's not really big enough to fit on much. Just curious to see what your opinions are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't complain about it really....we've had really good luck with it. I like the quad idea and that's what I'd like to do but he really wants the bike. Trails aren't really an issue.....he rides in the yard for now. I'm sure at some point he'll want to hit the trails but for the time being the yard is plenty big enough ( couple acres). I'm buying myself a quad too at the same time so I'm sure we'll be hitting the trails at some point since we only live 30 minutes from the trails at wayne. I think that 250 would be too tall for him and I'll most likely buy new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
