Hi Dirk,
I started riding motorcycles 4 years ago when my son was 10. There was
absolutely no problem riding with him on the passenger seat. We made
several trips of 3-4 hundred km without problems in the first few month.
Of course you have to make some stops to relax.
He is very enthusiastic about going with me even though he got a stitch
from a wasp which managed to get into his jacket.
I don't have experience with younger kids than 9 years of age.
But I think most of them love it and the have no problem staying on the
bike. Once their legs are long enough to reach the footrest it's fine.
If the legs are too short you may want to tape something (a piece of wood)
onto the footrest, so that they can reach it.
The expensive part is to buy proper leather clothing and helmet.
I heard that there are shop were you can rent clothing for the little ones.
