50 questions... - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Hey,

I want a little dirt bike to ride around on at shows and do some tricks with. I also want something that my daughter can ride in a year or 2.
I plan on getting a 50cc and had a few questions.

1.) Which brand is your favorite and why?

2.) Would I be better off with an 80?

3.) What kinda mods can be done (i.e. ride height, jetting, exhaust.)?

Keep in mind that my little girl will be getting this in a year or 2.

XR-50, these have the most options for sizing to an adult. A small lift kit to get you a bit higher off of the ground, exhaust is definately a possibility. Have a couple around here that have turbo's on them, these are about freaking wicked. Bar risers. List goes on and on, now days you can pretty much do what you want with them. I think there is something like a 250lb weight limit on them

Definatly go with an XR 50 Honda, they are bullet-proof
and will give many, many years of service. Really hard to
beat in the play bike class.
