I’m looking to buy my 4 year old a dirt bike. Looking for small, Not a lot of power, Easy to use (kind of twist and go). Any ideas where to start looking? Models to look at? Thanks, Carter | ||

cant go wrong with the honda XR-50. they have been re-named as a crf-50 for 2004. same bike as xr 50, and the old z50. in production for 30 years or so. they come with a throttle limiter, user adjustable. seat height is 21 inches. as soon as your kid can pedal a bicycle, the XR50 is the next step. have fun. dean | ||

Yeah, the fifties are the way to go IMO. I however started about that age on an old 2-stroke 80. I had a 2-stroke 250 by the time I was 12. | ||

Yamaha makes a 50cc also. The Yamaha PW50 has an MSRP of $1079 vs the Honda CRF50F at $1250. | ||

KTM has a few little 50cc dirt bikes, some with automatic trannys. | ||

i remember my first, 1979 XR80 Honda, got it when i was six. still some of the most fun i have ever had in my entire life. i rode that thing year round, rain or snow, even pulled skiers and sleds with it in the winter. trust me when i say buying a dirtbike for your kid is one of the best things a father can do, chicks dig scars! | ||

Thank you everyone, This gets me going in the right direction. I promised him that I would get him one when he could ride his two wheeler by himself and he's been riding around like a little maniac for the last week or so. I guess it's time. Thanks again, Carter 03 XB9R | ||

Anybody interested in the Big Kids Kawasaki KDX 80? 1980, fresh top end, fresh chain and sprockets? $500. The Big Kid now has a girl friend and out grew it(My only hope for grand kids)(You guys are missing out on my 28 YO daughter)(See Pic posted in Best Dog Breed, last month) | ||

Just another quick thank you to all who helped. Ended up with a Yamaha PW 50. It was the shaft drive that sold me. The hardest part of the whole deal so far has been getting him to come in. What a great weekend watching my son riding on his first bike, a dad couldn’t be prouder Thanks again to all. Carter 03 XB9R | ||
