Honda XR100. Easily get a good one for under $1000 plus when it comes time to sell it will still be worth what it was bought for. As reliable as a brick.
The xr should fit in the back of an suv/van. If it doesn't, you can always replace the front wheel with a small wheelbarrow type for transport, dramatically changes the height of the bike. I used to do this sometimes with my ktm so it would fit under my truck cap. Make sure you get a wheel that has nylon bushings instead of bearings so you can drill it out to the axle size.Cool thanks for all the suggestions guys. Looks like the XR100 may just fit the bill best! Hell I think even I could take it out for a little boot!
Now to find a way to transport this thing...same issue as us. Not much storage space for a trailer.
Umm, no. Probably around 95% of all kids are going to be scared away from dirtbikes if an 80 2t mx racer is the first bike they try. Something easy to learn on is what you want, like others have suggested any modern 4t 80cc up to 125cc is perfect.80cc two stroke dirt bike, and a trailer so you can get the 125 and ride with him
Not exactly. My first cr80 at 9, racing(trying lol) a kx250 at 13, had drz, ktm's, multiple Japanese 2t, been offroad all my life. When it came time to teach my kids to ride I wanted it to be as easy as possible so they'd actually enjoy it. Roosting a 2t anything into the trees, looping it out etc is no fun for a kid and not a great way to get them into it. Trail bikes are sold for a reason but I guess they're only for girls and mama's boys.forgiving..... they're scary....
looks up, is this the Mom's forum? haha, guessing you boys had sheltered upbringings
I started at 11 on an 80 2 stroke and even at 13 I can tell you it is a handful of a bike and this was long time ago.ummm, yes....if the kids 13 and can't handle an 80 he should stick to video games
Say what? My son is 13 with 150 kids in his grade. Not one is 6ft tall.yeah you guys are right, teenagers are weak these days, even though the average 13 year old is 6 ft tall
best just get him this, but it can be scary and unforgiving, carpal tunnel syndrome is no fun so he must be supervised

But we do live in Woodbridge and any 6ft Italian is rare but you get the point.
And I used to love that game. You must be old too if you are referencing IntelliVision
