What cc should a 12 year old's first dirt bike be?

Answer 1

I am actually 12, so take this seriously......

I am 5'0 and own a Honda CRF150f and I fit it absolutely PERFECTLY!!

<(meaning I can touch with one foot flat on the ground....)>

It has plenty of power for a trail bike but I highly recommend getting

new knobby tires because the stock tires are kind of on the slippery side....

And I will take weight into consideration, because it is pretty heavy....

(meaning it is 230 pounds...the same weight as a 250 4 stroke....)

But.....Your parents could pick it up or other riders, etc.

Otherwise, if your into racing, maybe a Honda CRF150r/CRF150r expert.

For a 2 stroke, I would get an 85 of some sort......

Or even a KTM 105sx.

I hope this helps and BTW, that other guy was stupid saying they should get a

70 or 80 4 stroke. That's just rediculous.

Answer 2

I had a 250cc for my first bike when i was 12, but now im 14 and got a 400cc bike.
