Hi, I was recently looking for a dirt bike for my 10 year old son, He is 4'10 and from what I have heard so far the Honda Crf110 is the bike I should get for him because of fuel injection and things like that But, I wanted to get opinions from Actual riders.
If you think he at all is going to be aggressive and riding track, I'd look at a 2 stroke, 85 Kawi, yamaha, or KTM Husky. You can lower those bikes for cheap and also reduce the power with simple mods that you can take off later when he gains confidence and is more comfortable on the bike.
I have 2 boys (13-11) that both ride, and we've gone thru them all. Just be thankful you never have to deal with a KTM 50.....
The Shop
Whichever 110 you can get and there's different brands, heights, clutch systems...etc. to choose from.
If he starts going fast or wants to go to the track, it'll be YZ 85 time and I'll keep the 110 for shits and grins. At least he'll gain some competency and confidence on something appropriate.
Buy smart, and used, and you'll make your money back anyway so no sweat moving on or changing things up.
