Hi Im about to pick up an 50cc sport 2 stroke for my 13yr old son . Any recommendations where to get used full suits ? I really want to stray from buying a new suit as he is growing very fast . He is just starting out and if anyone has any experience with their kids on starting would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

What is a 50cc sport 2 stroke? Used gear is super hard to come by. I actually had to buy Brenden a new suit this season since I couldn't find anything used. At 13 though it may be a little easier for you than me since Brenden is only 8. Just some FYI, depending on your sons size. 50cc 2 strokes are generally good to about 100lbs at most without sending the suspension out to get it redone for a heavier rider. Otherwise you could blow shocks and maybe even forks. Is he new to riding? If not you may want to look into a 65 with SM wheels. If he is smaller and you want a 50cc SM bike I have one for sale.
Brenden races with MinimotoUSA. If you want some info about racing or just trackdays and bikes let me know. I'd be happy to help.

I just call it a sport 2 stroke because its an Aprillia. My 13yr old is 104lb and my 9yr old is 79lbs. Its mainly going to be used as a learner bike . My plan is to get a larger one for my oldest eventually when he is ready. I would love to see what you have available andhear any tips on getting them started. Thanks!!

Very difficult to come by, but I just posted up 2 Alpinestars XL suits that might fit. Contact me to discuss: steven [at] zabzdyr [dot] com
