How old were you?
How long did it take?
Im trying to learn now, and I already quit twice on it. im 14-3 years old.

It was frustrating
I was 11
Can't remember how long it took but 38 years later I am glad I learned.

LOL i loved the it has a basket case answers Too funny!




This is because you learn how to get out of tricky situations like dirt/debris spills on the road how to avoid oncoming objects (i.e. trees and wildlife) The road bike will enhance those learnt by the dirt bike plus give you new ones like riding with cars, truck and other objects. These then pass on to the skill of manoeuvring a car, the truck or bus.
Form what I've seen so far I think that, that would be a pretty good idea.
(I'm doing it backwards of course, learnt to drive a car, then a truck, now road motorcycle, so I am looking for the dirt to improve my road riding skills.)
if you know of any bikes tell me !

Definitely buy a used one for your first. This way when you lay it down, it won't get you as upset.
THANKS

By the way 50cc bikes are pit bikes.


they are set up for enduro, torquey yet with decent suspension & brakes. I have personally owned about 10 since 1980 and never had any serious problems. Parts are readily available, easy to work on, very reliable and long lasting.
likewise, at your height, it might be a little bit tall for you initially, but you can add lowering links to the rear suspension and slide the fork tubes up in the triple clamps to drop the seat height up to about 2.25 inches without loosing much, if any, suspension travel.
my son raced the area enduro circuit for about 5 years placing in the majority of the events on both a 200 & later on a 220.
