I was 13 and got a RUPP 5HP minibike. It had "upside down forks!" Of course the damping was garbage. Thing threw chains EVERYTIME I jumped it! Full suspension. A "torque convertor" went about 30 mph. Had it for a year, then got a new Yamaha MX100. (1973) Been a sickness ever since...

I started on the street on a 1985 Honda VFR700R Interceptor. I'm sure it was a lot more of a bike than I needed to be starting on, but luckily(?) it was 10 or 11 years old and in bad enough condition that it was underpowered compared to where it should have been. Unfortunately it handled pretty poorly too (center of gravity way too high on that bike, imho).
... I never have ridden a dirtbike. That would be cool to try sometime though.

A good starter
