50cc vs. 70cc dirt bike?

[Adam B.]

One of my friends has a 90cc dirt bike and its sort of big for the path we ride along in his woods. My other friend has a 50cc dirt bike and it seems sort of small....should a 70cc dirt bike(i was looking at this one http://www.olsonpowersports.net/i-adr-70.html ) be good for me? I'm 14

I'd get a 2 stroke 80cc. They go off.

I bought my daughters (2) 110 cc models real similar to that.
They have been great. They are little wheelie machines as they have a lot of power for a small, short package.
At 14 a 70cc may not be enough for you in a year. But with the 4 stroke engine they are a very controllable little trail bikes.

So i think 50cc is too small for you and you will soon wish you had a larger one.

At your age, I rode a Kawasaki 100. Any of your choices would be adequate for light trail riding.
Good luck, and enjoy the ride.

You really don't want one of these. I promise you that it will end up costing you more both in money for repairs and aggravation than if you just bought a reputable Japanese brand. Honda has more different sized models than any other manufacturer. Go to a Honda dealer and sit on the CRF70 and CRF80. Once you know what fits you just look for a used one on cycletrader.com. A used Honda will last 10 times as long as that Chinese junk.
