great starter bike
By (I am an Owner) on Nov 30, 2009My son started riding the Honda CRF 50F when he was 5 and by the time he was six he was shifting through all 3 gears and racing the bike in the 50cc class. It is a great starter bike and allows them to stay in a lower gear (slower speeds) until they are ready to shift into a higher gear (higher ... speeds). I like the learning factor that makes them learn to shift up if they want to go faster or shift down in order to climb the hills. Which makes it a great trail bike.
As far as on the track, the CRF 50 does not have the torque or high end to keep up with the KTM's or the Cobra's, nor does it have the suspension for a smooth transition over the larger jumps and rhythum sections.
If you are looking for a good starter bike or trail bike, this is it. If you have anexperienced rider that is wanting to getinto raceing you might want to do a little research at the track.
