All 2st CR50 for new rider?

Thinking about getting a CR50 for my daughter, she is 6, quite tall, but can be timid at times. I only have one concern, is that it might be too much bike since they are meant to be MX'd hard by crazy little guys. Any way to detune these a bit?

I was in Bills Motorcycles Plus, and he talked me out of a little used CR50 for my 7yr old, that has 3 years trail experience. We trail ride only, and said it is not a good trail bike. Way to high strung if I remember right. I settled on an SDG 50, big bore 70 he had sitting in his show room, and it turned out a perfect bike for him.

Size-wise, I'm sure it's fine for her, but if she is timid, may not be the best idea. One whiskey throttle might scare the living bejesus out of her, especially if it's on the pipe!

My thoughts exactly.....oh man such a toss up since they are so cheap. I put a throttle stop on her JR50 and that slowed her down on that thing.
I also wouldnt be opposed to making a new pipe similar to a trials bike that has no expansion chamber, that should kill the top end.

OH... She is not a new rider? That may change my thinking a bit if she has some experience with a twist throttle and what not.

My boy also had a KDX50 (Same as JR, just rebadged Kawi).

I don't know about how to de-tune it, but your pipe idea sounds like a good one. If you do it this way, you will almost have 2 bikes in 1. You could always re-tune it when the day comes...

Yes, thats just it. As she grows, I could give it more power. Apparently there is some adjustment in the clutch for rider skill level too. They are $1000 for a brand new 2012 right now, pretty hard to say no. If she doesn't like it I guess I can learn to do backflips on it. lol

Are you seriously telling me a brand new 2012 CR50 has a price tag of only 1k?

I'd like to know that too....1K for a new CR50?? Heck you could use a washer in the exhaust to restrict the power.

Yes sir...I will post where tomorrow after I get one. lol

Booo sold them all. But they jacked the price of PDI, documentation and all that crap. So a $998 bike, turns into $1710.

That's still cheaper than a KTM 50. So who had them?

Bait & Switch ??? Sounds like it to me....

Dang they do look sweet though.
