They are for my boys, as far as the fad, I think adults like modding them and racing them.

Not to mention it's illegal to ride them on public roads.

Chicks dig em?

50's are really popular around southern california. People beef up the suspensions and put high rise handlebars (bmx bike style) on honda 50's and race/screw around on them in backyards for fun. They are small enough to take almost anywhere and can ride on bmx jumps. You can put pegs on them and try to do grinds and stuff similar to street bmx.

Of course, but you cant take a 250 out to a backyard or the local bmx jumps and what not. Unless your lucky and live someplace where you can hop on your dirtbike whenever you want and ride by home.
