I am almost 14 and I have a cheap chinese 90cc dirt bike. I want to either upgrade it or buy a new 125cc dirt bike, but I am leaning towards buying a new one, so when I am old enough I can make it street legal and drive it. So should I upgrade old, or buy a new 125cc dirt bike that I will eventually be able to drive on the streets. Also, how old do you have to be to drive a dirt bike in Indiana, and do I have to go to an actual bike school, or will a permit or license be enough?Please help!
Upgrading a disposable motorcycle is a waste of time. You don't need to buy a new 125cc bike, get one that is 2-3 years old and well maintained for less then half the original price. A 125cc bike will not be good for driving on the street unless you like in a rural area without highways. The age limit to drive depends on your state, I don't know Indiana's. You definitely will/should take a class to learn the laws of the street before riding in traffic. If the 125 you are looking to buy is a 2-stroke you need to work on your mechanical skills as the engines don't last that long.
