My best friend's son asked his mother for a motorcycle for his 11[SUP]th[/SUP] birthday and of course she blames me. So for his birthday I bought him his own helmet and gloves and promised to take him on a friend's crf70 since buying him a motorcycle was not an option. We spent the entire day on two 70s and had a blast. He was surprisingly comfortable on it and was jumping curbs and standing on his pegs in no time (it was actually pretty scary how good he was).
Goto habibi to know more.
SO now I'm obsessed with getting this kid a bike and have been scouring kijiji and craigslist ads for something cheap or that needs some work so I can spend the next couple months fixing and customizing it for him for Christmas. I've been told to only buy Japanese but 10 year old Honda's are going for $ and anything closer to my price range is Chinese.
I'm trying to figure out whether it would be worth waiting for a project-worthy Honda to come up for sale for a few hundred dollars or to buy him a cheap Chinese dirt bike that he can bang around, learn on and outgrow.
My question to you guys is: how bad are Chinese dirt bikes really? Found one on kijiji for a ridiculously low price and very minor issues but I've only heard bad things about Chinese made bikes but he's going to beat it and it'll just be a starter until he shows enough skill and a true commitment to the hobby before his mother and I dish out for a nice Japanese dirt bike.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated! And if anyone has an old 70-100cc dirt bike collecting dust somewhere or needs work, there's a future rider who's running around the neighbourhood telling everyone he rode a motorcycle that would love to have one of his own.
