Hey guys,
Was talking with my cousin yesterday and he's thinking of getting a small dirt bike for his son (13yr old) and wanted some recommendation. I don't have a clue about these things, and couldn't tell him which way to even turn.
Some requirements:
- light weight
- easy to carry in car (i.e.: fit in wagon / back of van if possible - Mazda5 size)
- can carry adult for a short time (as I know cousin will take it for a rip)
- not sure if auto/man transmission
Have seen teens ripping through parks in the area on what looked like pit bikes (dirt) and that looked fun. But not sure what they were exactly.
I know money is always an issue so the cheaper the better. Typically his son gets bored with new things, so wouldn't want to spend too much for a start. Thanks!
