Anyone think these are good bikes for kids?

i was getting a crf50 for my son, but saw i can get a JR50 2007 for $999 on sale,

plus its 2 stroke Braaaappp Braaaapppp

any thoughts?

Great 4 kids, like the PW50 but the only problem i see with them is that you will have to buy another bike once they want to start learning the gears.

thats why crf's are a good option semi auto not fully

Yeah man the novelty would wear off quickly I rekon go the crf50!

 

[jayden-pitbikez]

yeh if ya can teach him to ride a semi manual then yeh, for sure get the crf but yeh, as they said he will grow out of the jr50 after maybe a couple of months if he is talented.
cheers

^^whoa crap, that is an un-believable price, u could have bought it and sold it the same day for like double!! LOL

yes i agreee with everyone, he might grow out out of it reaaly quickly, the jr 80 is another option they are mad. good fun to ride plus plenty of power for there size. but all and all i would go the crf

 

[pitmaster]

thanks for the advice guys,

i looked at them both, and taking into consideration hes not only 3.8 years old the crf50 didnt suit him now,

the JR just suited him better, better controls on it for a kid, adjustable handle bar height etc,

so we got him the JR50 now, and thatll will keep him happy to hes at the age where gear changing etc will come into it, hes got 2 or so years now to really get the hang of riding, than once hes passed that and wants gears and is around 6yrs than he'll upgrade to a crf50, (the dealer said 4yr and under is not suited to a crf anyway) they are mainly for 6+ cause the seat height is better suited to that age,

anyway hes super stoked, the drive home (1.5hr) he wouldnt stop talking about it

Stick the little fella on a KTM 50 adventure or a KTM mini 50SX if you want him to race.
