Default Most Reliable Kid Atv??

I am planning on buying 2 atvs in the next three months and was wondering what is the best or most reccomended brand I am working with a dealer who has Suzuki,Yamaha, and Kawasaki. I plan to get one ina 50cc and the other ina 80cc. I appreciate your input.

The Suzuki and the Kawa are great in the 80cc quad. They are very very tuff and have lots of power. But the suzuki and the kawa in the 50cc quad are powerless. The 50 quad doesn't have a cvt transmissiom. They will not climb the smallest hill unless you spend alot of money on it. Then they will still not keep up with say a Kasea or an Arctic Cat or a Eton.

My vote is on the Eton, Kasea, or Dinli. So much more out there for future upgrading.

For the 90cc~~ the LT80 is bulletproof
For the 50cc~~I'd go with what TrexTommy recommended but I would ad a Kymco50 as an option.

All I can tell you is I've had a Yamaha Raptor 80 for almost 2 years. It's been one painless machine. It will go just about anywhere I can go on my Kodiak. I clocked my daughter doing over 31 mph the other day. They look cool too. I dont thaink you can go wrong with any of the three.Yamaha, Kaw,Suzuki. I would also think about not getting a 50 cc. They will outgrow it to fast. A 80 or a 90 they can ride forever. We've been locked up inside cause it's been so cold, but yesterday I picked up my daughter after school and we were able to take a 45 min ride. She said that sure is fun! It has a way of bonding parents and childern and sure beats sitting around the house. No matter what you get....get a helmet

HONDA TRX 90 is the most reliable but at an msrp of $2549, they can keep it.


Dinli, Eton or Kasea are much better values imo.

Absolutely the Honda 90. Find a Honda dealer! It's to big for the tiny kids though.

Thanks for the input and suggestions. I might just get 2 80cc atvs and maybe turn the throttle limiter all the way down on one and gradually let it out as my son improves his riding skill. In my area I can also get e-ton and Dinli atv's. I did not mention them because I am not familiar with them whether they have good quality and if they hold up.
