All of you motorcycle riders...
I need a suggestion/help. My son, who will be 4 1/2 in November, has learned to ride a motorcycle. No one taught him, but we have a little pocket bike that Mr.irishmick converted to 24 volt. He can freakin' balance the bike with his feet up at a dead stand still, already changes his body position, even leans into corners...just a freakin' natural.
While it scares the crap out of me, anyone have any suggestions for a good starter bike for the little guy? We were thinking a PW50 or something similar? Preferably a 4-stroke with no gears (for now....).

Jenna, I think his daddy AND him would probably pick up that little plastic scooter and beat me with it. LOL

Wow! The control he has and the level of confidence is incredible. I don't know anything about little bikes though.

Yeah...he is a natural and fearless .....a PW50 could be a good start but don't let him get too far from your personal supervision. He could be a real champion....or he could break your heart.
Looks like his sister wants to go too.

His sister always wants to go. Surprisingly, she's our little daredevil. Jumps off of stuff, wants to ride the motorcycle, whatever looks fun at the time. lol
He knows that the rules are that he can only ride with mommy or daddy there. Once we get him his "bigger" bike for Christmas, we'll ride with him. We're also going to get him some mini-leathers/bike gear and gloves.--"D.B.A.D." --Me

He got his helmet and goggles today. Pads are hanging on the bike and he knows Mommy will be very angry if he rides without them.
Believe me, that was numero uno on our list. He's getting full riding gear for Christmas when Santa brings him his new bike...even the chest guard.
