Best for
A dedicated youth motocross racer built for closed dirt circuits, jumps and berms - pure competition, not transport.
Built for
Sharp, revvy and aggressive - a snappy liquid-cooled two-stroke that rewards commitment with explosive acceleration and razor agility.
Not ideal for
Not for road use, commuting, touring or passengers; no lights, kick-start only, knobby tires and race-only intent make it street-illegal.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
