Dirt bike for an 8 year old

Postby Mouseman » Sat May 06, 2017 5:15 pm

Looking for a bike for my son to learn to ride on.
Not too sure what I should be looking for....

Any suggestions welcome.

Or Pm me if you have one that's no longer needed.

Cheers Mike

My best advice would be to buy him a trials bike and get down to Hookwoods. They are really pushing their youth training programme at the moment and are very active. It's a great way to learn and get a really good grounding in off road skills.

Kev, I would prefer him to ride Trials, but he's seen the mini MX type bikes PW80 CRF70 etc.
Will try to get him to Hook Woods, when's the best time/ day to have a look.

Mike,

Next Hookwoods youth day is Sat 27th May at 13.30. Get him down there and he will be hooked.

Kev,

Okay, Hookwoods is in the diary.
Well come down and have a good look round.
What are the chances of the little fella having a go, just round a field or something....
Cheers

Most of the "children" on here ride 300cc 2/strokes.

Hi Billy,

I must agree with you there, I've noticed a lot of the big boys are riding 300 2 strokes, but I've also noticed some big girls riding 200 2 strokes.
Remind me again Billy, what do you ride.....
