#Ktm bike kids registration
I paid $1,250 for a brand new TTR50 at my local shop, but after taxes, registration and fees, I was closer to $1,700 if I remember right. I got the Yamaha TTR50 because I found a decent deal on it, but if I were buying again, I would have preferred the CRF50 from Honda if one had been available. This is the dirt bike I bought for my 6-year-old and it’s been great. The Yamaha TTR50 is a very reliable and well-built dirt bike at a reasonable price. The CRF50 tops out at 25mph and the TTR50 can get up to 30mph. The one difference you may notice, however, is that the CRF50 isn’t as fast as the TTR50. There are differences, of course, but they aren’t obvious. In fact, if you were to switch the plastics on a CRF50 to something blue, most people wouldn’t even know the difference. In almost every other respect, however, the CRF50 is basically identical to the Yamaha. The Honda CRF50 and the Yamaha TTR50 are the most popular options because they are incredibly reliable, reasonably priced, and are set up with similar controls to an adult bike so the kid can easily progress to bigger bikes as he or she grows. The kick start is mostly for that parent. I’ve seen some 6-year-old kids who can do it, but even my 8-year-old struggles. It’s just a little too hard for most kids. While the kick start is really nice to have if you accidentally left the key in the “on” position and can’t use the electric start, keep in mind that most kids won’t be able to kick start the bike. They are only $100 more expensive than the Yamaha TTR50, but they include a kick start which, in my opinion, should be standard on absolutely every dirt bike. Time and time again when I hear from experienced riders, they say they put their kids on a CRF50. If a friend or neighbor were to ask me what 50cc dirt bike to get, my short answer would be to get a Honda CRF50. However, 2-stroke has advantages such as low-end grunt. I personally knew I didn’t want a 2-stroke when I was shopping because all our other dirt bikes are 4-stroke and I didn’t want to mess with mixing fuel for different bikes. However, this is a 2-stroke bike so you’ll have to mix oil at a ratio of 60:1.

This is a racing bike and if that’s your aim, then it’s a good choice.ĭisc brakes on the front and back, adjustable handlebars, liquid cooling with a radiator, inverted front forks, and other features make this act like a higher-end bike, but on a smaller scale. It’s an incredible bike, but you have to pay for the quality. If your kid is very serious about dirt biking, or if you’re made of money, then it’s tough to beat the KTM 50 SX Mini. If you get them a 50cc bike at 6 years old, they’ll be just fine riding it until they are 10 even if technically they could move up to a bigger bike for a better fit at 8. However, this depends on their individual height and strength. Kids who are 8-10 years old can also ride their old 50cc bike, but at 8 years-old, they would more properly fit a larger bike. If you aren’t sure of proper sizing, I generally recommend that kids between 3 – 7 years old ride a 50cc dirt bike. Having said that, my favorite 50cc dirt bike is the KTM 50cc (very expensive), followed by the Honda CRF50 and the Yamaha TTR50.


While there are a few lemons to avoid which I’ll highlight in this post, your decision will likely be made by which one you find available at a good price near you. In the end, most of the 50cc dirt bikes are excellent and there are very few differences between them. I recently purchased a 50cc dirt bike for my 6-year-old son and I did a ton of research into the different 50cc bikes available to see which one was the best. The 50cc bike is too small for him, but it REALLY helped him to gain confidence quickly on a smaller bike for the first several rides.
