So I recently sold my dirt bike. And my friend wants to go ride some intermediate woods trails in a couple days and I really want to go but all I have now is a little ssr 125cc pit bike which I bought for my son.
When I rode with my son I took the pit bike up a trail for a short ways to try it out, it feels like a pretty capable bike.
I've even upgraded the tires since then.
So my question is: is trail riding a pit bike a thing?
I don't really care if I look dumb, I'm just curious if any of you have had a serious day of trail riding on one of these little things.
I'm 6'1", so it might get a little uncomfortable but I haven't rode in months and need to get out there!
TIA

Sounds like a great way to trash your sons bike, honestly. I'm sure you'll be careful with it, but nobody ever breaks a lever, bends bars, smashes a pipe or rashes up their plastics on purpose. a SSR 125 was simply not made for a 6'1" adult to ride intermediate trails on. Pit bikes are made for just that - darting around the pits and backyard hooligan riding.

I mostly just wanna be out in the woods again.. and my buddy i ride with rides pretty slow so I shouldn't have a problem keeping up.
And this sr125 was like $750 brand new, so I'm not too worried about beating it up too much.
Will probably just keep this bike around as a little f--k around bike anyway.
Who wouldn’t wanna trail ride this beast?
And that crf100 looks bigger than my sr125 but not by too much.
But you will get bored and over ride the bike by going faster
than you should at your size. Then when the bike is damaged
what are you going to do? Best to leave it alone and get your own bike.

Probably feel like you dropped the soap in prison a few times for the next few days after. But you shouldn't have any issues.
