Hello all, New member here.  I am new to the forums and have never owned a dirt bike before.  I have two children I am buying for, a 4 year old (already purchased a ttr 50) and a 11 year old.   
 
Currently the 11 year old is riding a Baja 70 cheap Honda knock off. Had to make sure motorcycles were his thing!  We are getting ready to buy him a new bike and I recently hit a wall.  It seems he wants to give motocross a shot.  I do have my doubts on if he can handle it.  This is were the problem comes in.   
 
If I purchase him a 85 mx bike (something with real power compared to what he is used to), if he hates the motocross scene... will it still make a good trail bike?  Or should I go with something with a bit more power made for the trails that can also be used on the track?  Keep in mind, I doubt he would be doing a lot of jumping just yet (if ever).  My only other thought was, let him take his Baja to the track and if he doesn't trash it in a day or so.... chances are he wouldn't benefit from a MX bike anyway. 
 
Any suggestions would be very helpful.
