[QUOTE="ws6transam, post: 1393841, member: 65064"] This is the very first season that my 9 1/2 year old has been riding on a motorcycle. He's learning quick after only about eight hours of seat time, and a few spills. What I got for him, is a used 2003 Honda XR80. My son is pretty much the same size and weight as your son. We recently took it up through woods trails, and the little machine will motor up any of the trails. It's a bit wallowy in the deep sand, but the tires are old and hard, and in need of replacement. So, I'd recommend an XR80. The clutch hasn't been much of a problem; and my son is shifting well. We spent the first several afternoons just learning how to start and stop with the clutch. Now, it's become habit. So, in essence, the clutch adds a couple of afternoons to the learning process, that's all. Don't know what else to tell you with regard to dualsports in California. I recommend you stick to 200cc to 250cc, because you'll be putting along with your son on the trails. [/QUOTE]
