arcticgun 4,548 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 My son has been hassling me non stop for one of these 110 cc pit bikes, he reckons he would be a changed man if I buy him one, gunna do all sorts round the house, stop working his sister and maybe even be polite to us mere mortals that feed, house and cloth him, now I detest motorbikes always have done, so know nothing about them at all either, could someone ion the know give me some advice as what to buy him, I don't want to spend a fortune as most of what I hear the plods end u[ confiscate em anyhow lol any advice etc appreciated lads Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid 935 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I cant help, but am in the same boat, my 6 year old wants one, and also unsure what to get, some thing small, but i know there is some cheap shyte out there, and want to avoid it. Any one with a bit of knowledge on a good 50cc or less dirt bike for my nipper to shoot around the field on ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Avoid Chinese ones at all costs. They break and it's hard to get parts for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BIGLURKS 874 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Don't waist ur money they last about a month they will teach your kid how too fix a bike though my little brother has one they can nip on though even with my fat ass on them they can still shift but my brother has probably spent the same amount repairing he's then it cost him in the first six months better buying a Honda or Yamaha 50 cc will last twice as long and have better resale when you get rid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spanielsandhawks 466 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Try searching for a stomp dealer near you, great range from 50cc to 160cc auto/semi and manual, i l know many that own a stomp bike. very reliable and easy to get parts, not your cheep chinease shite. hope this helps ?

bobby blackheart 1,209 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 dont mess around with stomp,xsport-get a thumpstar pro elite 125cc 0r honda xr 100 if you got the coin get him suzuki lt50/tl80 quad-you wont lose as much money when you sell it on or get him 1 of these-ktm 50 senior-2 stroke 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobby blackheart 1,209 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 i payed 350 for the ktm 2007 model-and made 100 pound when i sold it-LT 50/80 are a bit more to buy but hold their money well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.P.R 2,798 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) I bought my lad a petrol mini quad.... upgraded the carb...filters etc and the thing was a wee flying machine.... But the noise was LOUD..... He didnt like the noise....so i sold it... with the aim of getting an lt50...... The problem with these petrol bikes and quads.... theyre an easy target for the police.... you cant ride them anywhere in public or on public land.... So end up using them in the street and annoying the neighbours....gets a bit boring for the kids is suppose.... I dont know how old your lad is..... But mines going on 4 at christmas.... and theres some pretty quick electric quads out now.... they look the dogs too..... Bonus of them is...that you can use them anywhere...legally.... the beach....streets....etc..wherever you want...... I dont really fancy forking out that much money for some police officer to crush it.... Heres the link to the electric ones.... Ill be getting my lad one for chistmas http://www.funbikes.co.uk/Black_Electric_Mini_Quad_Fun_Bike_Ride_On_Toy(3627).aspx Edited July 28, 2013 by Blue Pocket Rocket Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its_grim_up_norf 577 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) ive got a stomp klx with a yx140 engine, upgraded carb, race cammed...like shit off a stick, and a whole lot of fun. real reliable too. plus when things do go wrong pit bikes are cheap to fix. not being too sure how old the bairn is, id say, get him either a semi auto, or a rev and go to start. then once hes got to grips, buy a decent bike. a geared bike. if hes around the 12 mark, then you can probably get away with getting a gears one straight away. stomp are good, demon, an thumpstar if you can find them but they're becoming increasingly rare. Just be careful putting him in at the deep end. i know mines 140 but it doesnt stall, it flips, or takes off. either way whoevers riding it ends up on their arse.
