 | | Derbi, the Spanish brand owned by Piaggio, has entered the U.S. small displacement motorcycle market with a pair of 50cc four-stroke minis, the Dirt Boy (MSRP $1,749) with 10" front and rear wheels, and the Dirt Kid (MSRP $1,821) with a 12" front and 10" rear wheel. |
 | | While the bikes are sure to appeal to young riders, Farrelly said he expects “a fair portion” of his sales to be to adults “who’ll want to trick them out with performance parts to be used as toys for themselves.” A 100cc up-grade is coming soon, and performance parts are in process, he said. |
 | | Other Derbi models for sale in the U.S. include the 50cc Atlantis scooter, Boulevard 150 scooter, GP1 sport scooter and 50cc GPR sport bike. |
