what type of dirt bike should i get my kid??

Q. well i am thinking of getting my kid a dirt bike he just turned 13 but i dont know what type (50,75,95,125,250 ETC.) and i was wondering if you could help me.

Answer
If it is his first bike don't get any of the 85cc MX bikes. The Honda CRF line would be the best choice. At 13 the CRF100F or CRF150F would probably be the best fit. They are very easy to ride bikes and have just enough power for a beginner. Just take him to a Honda dealer and let him sit on the bikes to see which is a better fit. My 11 year old nephew is on the 100 so your son may need the 150. Yamaha also makes a TT-R 125 in two different sizes, 14" and 16" rear wheel. The larger model is the TT-R 125L for Large wheel. I prefer the Hondas myself but the Yamaha would be a fine bike as well.

should kids race dirt bike?

Trevor H

Answer
That would depend on what sort of commitment the parent is prepared to make in the sport. I know I sometimes wonder if we should have let our children get involved due to the cost and also the injuries. The sport is great fun and something for kids to do that doesn't involve staring at a computer screen for hours on end. But if your child ends up wanting to take the sport to a higher level then it becomes very expensive.
All the young children that I know of over the years that have been involved in the sport just love it. Some stay involved all their lives and others find other interests.
But as long as the right safety gear is used then there is no reason why small kids should not race. Some of them are more competitive than the adults.

would a 5 ft 2 kid fit on the 125cc Giovanni dirt bike?

Answer
seat hight is the key thing to look for, a 5' 2" person would be able to stand comfortably on a bike with a seat hight around 30" (depending on how much hight is in their legs) on a dirtbike, you can have a higher unloaded seat hight and still be ok because they have alot more shock travel and go down alot farther when you sit on them than street bikes do.

Alexis

my little brother has never had a big birthday present, and he is turning 13. he loves dirt bikes and currently rides my boyfriends pit bikes around when we go out to the track or riding at a parking lot. for his birthday this year i want to get him started with his gear and hopefully get him to start saving for a bigger bike so that he can learn how to ride. i would love a list of things that could help me get started. thank you!

Answer
There is a lot of stuff to dirt biking but some basics for gear that you wanted to get him would be
helmet
goggles
chest protector
gloves
jersey
pants
and boots
Thats the basic saftey equipment. This stuff can be pretty expensive and start to add up. But that stuff will make him feel like he is a pro.

Is dirt bike racing only for younger kids or can people in their 20's start in it?

skye

I know someone who always wanted to race dirt bikes, but never got the chance. He's in his 20's now, but is that too old to get started in the sport?

Answer
NO,their are 60 yr oldes that do their first race in the 450 class. It is always better so start when your young but it depends on your skill. If its his first time riding a bike and has no skill i would suggest not racing, all he would do is get hurt and suck.
