The AMA lists a lot of riding areas in WI
I'm not from around there so I don't know which ones are close to you.

On the left, go to – Off-Road
You have to be a member of the AMA to access that area of the site.
Everyone that owns a motorcycle, ATC, quad or scooter should be a member of the AMA
Strength in numbers!
if little to no experience, it would be best to start him off on a mild 4 stroke trail bike, like a Honda CRF80/100/150F (not R) or a Yamaha TTR90/110 or a Kawasaki KLX90/110 if those aren't too small for him. or if he is taller, CRF230 or TTR230 which are mid sized height wise but tend to be on the heavier side. these are all air cooled, older designed and bullet proof engines with moderate (at best) brakes & suspension but great bikes to learn how to ride on.
if he has some experience and is more agressive, something like a CR, KX, RM, YZ 80/85/100 or CRF 150R small wheel or expert (depending on his height) which will have all the performance upgrades including suspension & brakes.
if he is 5'6" or taller, he might be able to fit a full size bike…
again, little to no experience, XR, KLX, WR, CRFX 250
or if some experience and/or agressive, CRF, YZF, RMZ, KXF 250…
I would advise to start off used to save yourself some money as he might quickly outgrow or loose interest… then once he finds what really fits him, then you can always upgrade to newer…
Any alternatives?
I use a 24 oz. bottle up to about 90 min efforts in the winter, 40f. Summer one bottle per hour, or about 24oz/hour.
I also like Platypus bladders and hose and use my own luggage; shoulder or hip pack. I have a 70oz and 100oz.

i would say a kawasaki 80, its pretty good, but its a 3 strokes and has a lot of power, but honda has some great bikes, i stopped by there today and the 08 CRF150R was lookin good, its a 4 soo maybe u would like that? and the 08 CRF250R is pretty good too, its also has dual exhaust. but yea these bikes are made to go on hard trails, and its a honda!! sooo it will be very long lasting they make a great bike! hope u find one! good luck! and if u need more help u can ask me.
AD: Yeah that is right, even bicycles are illegal to ride on the sidewalk in my home state, so certainly if you lived here you would be cited, towed, and impounded into police storage.
AAD: You have had four days to think about it, yet you still refuse to reveal to us your jurisdiction. So the best answer I can give you, is generally speaking. In general, dirt bikes are restricted to dirt, that is off-road recreation areas. In general, the shoulder of a roadway or designated bike lane is reserved for bicycles and smaller mopeds and scooters. In general, the roadway itself is reserved for the larger, *titled* vehicles. And generally speaking of course, sidewalks are reserved for pedestrians. It appears that you fall under the dirt trails and off-road use category. Your state may or may not also require some type of permit or registration, and therefore you may still be illegal if you do not follow the law.
*/End of Line.
Good luck anyway
thanks
