" All dealers must stop selling kids motorcycles aimed at riders under 12 years old. It is a law passed by congress based on lead content. This law was intended to get rid of lead paint in kids toys which all the manufacturers have been complying with for years now. However there are still trace amounts of lead in the crankcases themselves. Because of this, any model directed at children under 12 years old will not be for sale after this saturday."

theyre trying to, but they dont think it will pass. also its saying that after a set date, private owners of say a KX65 for a 10 year old cannot be resold on craigslist or a place like TR without prior examination/approval and paperwork stating its lead content. i donno, i saw a video about it and it was ridiculous.

Yeah this BS is true we have many many bikes we had to pull off the showroom floor. I work in parts and I can't even order parts for the bikes or atv's that fall into that age group. For all the panic with the economy they picked a great time for this nonsense.
