No, but then - they need to master something small first. They are 15 and 12. That said, I have a 13 year old racer that I would put on one... certainly.

You have to understand the different modes on the BMW don't just change the horsepower. It also controls the throttle delivery. So, in RAIN mode it's 150hp with a slow delivery throttle... compare that to the RACE mode that has 193hp with a quarter turn throttle and it's a different bike.
