Sorry for another beat to death question but here it is.
Son is tall for a 6 almost 7 year old. We have a good size flat round track with a couple of small dips/humps (gets airborn due to the lack of suspension). Inside the round track we have a small mx track that I built for him. It has a small 6' long table type jump 3' or so tall, 4 small 2-3' tall jumps, bermed turns and a small 8-10" woop section about 12' long. He rides over the mx section sometimes but mostly rides the flat track. He rings the pw out, sliding in the turns. Almost bucks him off at speed when he hits a bump due to the poor PW suspension.
The kicker is that we also like to trail ride, maybe even more if he had a bike with bigger tires, suspension, and clearance. A lot of good rideing areas within a couple minutes to a couple of hours from our house.
If we were not wanting to do any trail riding I would get a KTM senior or the like. There is a Polini and a few KTM's locally for 800 or so.
A lot recomend the crf 50. Is this the best option. I don't see how a 100lb 50 can be our best choice for a combo trail/mx 50. I don't think we are going to get into raceing but he is quite agressive when he is confident.
Can a tall 7 year old touch the ground on a ktm 65?
I need to take him to a local shop and size him up to a few models to see what fits.
Tell me something good, running out of time for xmas.
