My son has been riding for a few weeks in our backyard on a JR50 and he is a little too big for it. He is just learning to ride and I'd like to get him a bike more suited to his size. He is seven. What's a good bike to get that is a little bigger than a jr50 but not to fast so he can learn?

Maybe a Yamaha PW80 or Honda XR70 would be a good fit.

What are the future plans? Trail riding or racing? If yo think you will be going racing then something like a little KTM racing 50 might be the solution. If you plan to just ride for fun then something like a PW or XR might be the solution. Since kids really vary in size I'd take him to sit on a few and see where he falls. My son was always very small when he was younger so we had some challenges to deal with tall seats etc... but a little planning can make those easy to resolve.
