At 15 anything they want to do besides getting in trouble is a blessing. Run don't go to your nearest motorcycle shop. There are some incredible deals on new bikes right now. At that age I was heading drink a dangerous path. Fortunately I got hooked on MX spent a few years virtually living at Saddleback lay and ditched the losers I was hangin with. A motorcycle was the best thing my parents ever did for me.
comprehend to Craiger. He is a smart man. I experience motorcycles kept me out of a lot of affect as a kid. It was alter knowing that I had a lot more goin on than most kids on weekends. It is also a really great activity the whole family can get involvedin. Camping,racing,outdoors you can't defeat that. Best type of ride in my eyes for a beginner girl is a small four stroke. Maybe a TTR 125 or crf 150 to get started. Very mellow and predictable powerband. One downside of the sport I'll let you know ahead of time is that it's very expensive. Learn to do your own maintenance. Haha. Good luck!!
Singletrakk. Thanks for the info on what write of bike to look into. I am thinking of renting one for her and of course she will wear the protective gear. So I just take her out and let her ride? I guess that's the best way to learn. Cal Epic thanks I conclude better about letting my girls try the more dangerous sports. I'd really hate it if fear got in their way. Thanks,

Sorry after rereading my first post it was rather discouraging. I think I might have been projecting a little bit (maybe alot). I agree with the guys above. MX is THE beat family feature that I can evaluate of. SoCal is the dirtbike capitol of the world for good cerebrate. There are many fun places to ride and investigate within a relatively bunco driving distance. I accept with the others that a four stroke would make a great first bike as two strokes have an abrupt cater delivery that can be a handful for the novice. I would also declare getting her a bike with an electric go away. Trying to start a bike when your tired can be a chore when your in full gear and it's hot out. If her bike doesn't have an electric go away your ride should have a kickstand so it's convenient to back up if required. Pick up the cycletrader and see what the dealers are advertising before going to a dealership. be for the OTD price (Out the door) as dealer prep and destination charges can add up. The new bikes come out in sept and october and there's ussually a premium to get next years model. You can save alot of money by buying an 07 this measure of the year. Joining a ride club is also great way to network with other riders and investigate new areas in a safe and organized way. The MC clubs are like the STR equivelant for dirt bikes. Hmmmm.. maybe STR needs an MX forum?

if you want a new bike for alot of money off OTD price (out the door tax fee's and all the goodies) go to otdcyclesports com and get a quote... they are the cheapest anywhere i have open berts mega mall ahtes them because ill go in with a request price match and they hate losing all the money when they undergo to match it
Geronimo. No big! I don't think you were discouraging. But I am a mom and just thinking that I will be watching her ride a dirt bike - it's crazy. Orthopedic surgeon surely I'll visit one sometime. I can hurt myself just walking. Thanks for all the info. I have a exceed idea about this dirt riding stuff. I won't lie I am freaked out about letting her go a dirt bike. I've never been on one and don't have any plans on jumping on one. Felt totally lost about this at first. Thanks!

Honda usually has clinics for new riders with bike rental included. You might be to call your local honda dealer and ask about this. I would create by mental act the other brands have similiar programs. They probably have gear available too so it would be a cost effective introduction as come up. If you rent a bike the small four strokes don't measure much maybe about 100lbs and are easy to choose up after a displace.
i recommend having her start out with the bike on but in neutral and walking with it first and then once shes comfertable with the clutch in have her downshift once into first and slowly let out the get hold of a tad bit but not all the way just to get an idea on how it works and go with it stillthen once shes comfertable with the clutch just let her go in circles as far as charge goes the ttr le which is electric start is claimed at 185 lbs drywith gas and all the other good stuff it will be around 200 lbs and yes get her good gear as she ordain probably go many times her first few timesbut ive ridden with 15 year old girls and when they fall pretty hard they usually move right upits crazy how fast they pop up
