wait, so you think that someone who drops 5 grand on a POS bike will run back to the sport when his bike grenades 3 months into owning it?

uh.....well, yeah! When I started riding, I was so hooked, I would do anything to keep doing it. That was the point I was trying to make. The situation you wrote is pretty bad, I know, but a kid doesn't think about it like an adult. If I were a parent that experienced that, I would never do it again, but a kid just knows he had fun and will keep bugging his dad to keep it going.
Along the lines of what you just said, think about this: modern 4 stroke mxers require alot of know how and money to participate in this sport. Let's say a total novice to the sport buys a new CRF250 for his beginner kid. He immediately crashes, bends the bars and breaks the lever. He goes to the shop and learns that new bars (Renthal stock) cost $100! and the lever is $10, whatever. Then he keeps riding, never reads the manual or talks to anyone for advice. Soon he runs dirt thru the airfilter (that he never cleaned) or just never changes the oil, and the bike blows up (probably longer than 3 months cuz it's a Japanese bike). Now he has a $7000.00 POS! This sport is super expensive! But we keep doing it because we are stupid and it is alot of fun!

the scenario you mentioned, they would never ride again. Just like someone who buys a chinese bike and watches it fall apart every ride. Or worse, someone buys a chinese bike and it breaks in half causing serious injury. Either way they would be completely over the sport

Marketing junky motocross bikes with high powered 450cc engines to beginners to help the sport grow, what could go wrong?
