[QUOTE="wanaride, post: 1171324, member: 44530"] Everyone has different opinions so take this with a grain of salt... Don't get a bigger bike with the intention of someone "growing into it". Get them a bike they can sit on comfortably flat-footed; that will build confidence and inspire them to want to ride. I suggest you get 4-stroke dirtbikes as their power delivery is generally more linear and therefore better suited to beginning riders. Something from Honda's CRF-F (newer) or XR (older) series, or Yamaha's TTR lineup would be good choices. You might want to think about used bikes; that way, if someone in your family doesn't care for it, you won't be out as much money. I would take the family to a dealership and have them sit on bikes to gage the seat height required for confidence, and go from there. You're lucky, I can't get my wife on a dirtbike for anything! My kids, on the other hand, don't want to get off of their dirtbikes. Good luck and have fun! [/QUOTE]
