[QUOTE="Steve., post: 7333384, member: 154775"] Most of the race derived bikes like the KX50/65 and KTM 50/65 will be a bit hard work for a new rider, especially over a mix of terrain. They are very much aimed at the race track and the performance, power delivery and suspension set up may not be very forgiving. I would also say that a 50 will be a bit small for a 9 year old. Something like the CRF or KLX range may suit better, they are less powerful, but have a more forgiving and softer spread of power and are much more user friendly around the ground (but wouldn't cut it on a race track) My 6 and 7 year olds both ride a CRF50. Its perfect size for the 6 year old, but the 7 year old is on the verge of needing to move up to a larger bike. Im just trying to decide what to get him. If he is keen to start racing I will get him a 65 of some description, If hes not and it will be mainly used around the farm either the CRF110 or KLX110. [/QUOTE]
