Has anyone looked at the Tomos MC50 dirtbikes? I have a local dealer who carries them. They look very good with lots of ground clearance and suspension. They have several different sizes and seat heights. I rode one around the parking lot and it seemed to have good power (pulled my 200 pounds anyway). They have a two speed automatic, which shifted good with me on it. This is a 2cycle bike so you have to mix the gas.
I use to work on Tomos mopeds back in the 70's so I know they have been around a long time. The motor looks a lot like the one in there new mopeds with there name is imbossed on the engine. They used to be made in Europe but I think they have a factory in South Carolina now. There brochure list the name as TomosUSA.
Anyway, I have two boys 6 and 7 who want dirt bikes. After reading most of the posts I think the PW50 and JR50 would be outgrown by the boys way to quickly. The Honda 50 sounds like a good choice but is quite a bit more expensive and I have to buy two of these. I'm also thinking my oldest will outgrow it too quickly.
If you've never seen these bikes you can go to tomosusa and see what you think. I'm hoping someone out there has an honest opinion on them.
