The odds of 2nd generation talent making it big are low. Stefan Everts really is the only one I can think off.

JYD and Ryan? Pretty sure they both raced the same nationals in Canada in 2017-18ish. Iirc they were placing around the same places

Brian Deegan won a 125 sx main. Mini deegs has don’t pretty decent, plus you could throw the sister in the mix, seems she’s ok at racing cars (I don’t follow it so not 100%)

Rob Meek, and his boys Ben & Nathan Watson.   

Rob is a 5 time Weston Beach Race winner, Ben won the youth race at Le Touquet, and Nathan won the main race. 

Both boys have been on the MxoN Podium , Ben at Red Bud ( after the Italian DQ) and Nathan at Assen. 

Rob still races, he turned up at my local race and ruined my day by going 1-1-1 in 60+ last weekend on a 350 Beta in Nathan's kit.   He did have to pass me in one of them, so i will take that. 

Willie & Shaun Simpson,  Willie was a GP regular back in the 80's and Shaun won 450 GP's on a private Yamaha , and KTM.  Was in the bar chatting to him a few weeks ago, and he had no idea how many of us were there to see all his wins. 

Mervyn & Max Anstie already mentioned, Merv was a trier back in the day, and still rides a bit, nice guy to chat to these days. 

Surprised nobody has mentioned Peter and Jeffrey Herlings.

Dave and Kurt Nicoll would rank pretty high up the list.  Also Don Jones and his two boys as far as family dynamics goes.

Not sure what best means, several on that list had good results but absolutely terrible relationships 

I meant working relationships to reach the top

Motocross, it’s gotta be Everts. On the road side I’d say Robert and Michael Dunlop

road side would be Kenny Roberts, and Kenny Roberts Jr who both won 500 GP world titles (now moto GP)

No hate comms but I bet Brian rides circles around dizzy. Brian goes pretty good still. 

Do you mean dirt bikes or parenting?

I'll bring up Rick Ryan and his dad Jim,.Jim rode but didn't race,  Sure ran a good race program though. Jim passed away just recently, end of May.  Rick's son Jeremy was showing potential until consecutive broken femurs.
