Thread: Farm bike advice please

How big are your kids??

All the mentioned 4 stroke farm bikes nudge 115 kgs.

The smaller 2 strokes are about 5-10kgs less

Steer clear of chinese shit. Sorry, its shit, plain and simple. The Japs piss all over the Chinese for cheap reliable build quality. I have a 1978 Suzuki mudbig 185. 43 years old and never been apart. Same 1978 piston and rings still going up and down.

There's a lot less on a modern Suzi TF125 to go wrong than a 4 stroke. But thats just me.

First thing when you get whatever you buy, is put new tyres on it and a 12 tooth front sprocket. Then bark busters.

Tyres are important when kids are learning, as the bike will behave a lot better with sharp edges on all the knobs. 12 tooth sprocket will slow the bike down enough for them to not keep stalling it starting off. Bark busters to save you a fortune in broken clutch and brake levers from the multitude of times they will fall off it.

Once you have got them flying around the paddocks with a reasonable amount of control, come down my way and we'll get them jumping my pile of earth moving tyre obstacles
