How is the performance of Suzuki LT80(2 strokes) and Yamaha Breeze 125(4 strokes) at the dunes?

And which one is more reliable?

 

we have a breeze. 4 stroke, is very reliable. haven't tried it at the dunes yet. our LT80 wasn't running right at the dunes..... so i wouldn't want to say.

 

I wouldn't think reliability is a issue with either.
I cannot imagine the breeze with it's 4 stroke motor be a very good dune machine.
When I was there (4 times) I seen many-many Lt80's having fun.

 

My son rides a stock LT80 and a friend I ride with has both the stock Breeze and a piped LT80. They are all three reliable. They all hold their own out on the dunes with the Breeze being the faster of all three. I thought the Breeze would be a dog when he got it, but his seems to get around fine. It's not as snappy on take off, but it gets around as good or better than the LTs.

 

I think they would handle the flat areas.

For hills, you'd probably need mods and paddles. My kids was a nightmare until I modded it. But I've seen 250ex's, trailblazers and a trails bosses struggle getting around at our dunes. (And a Yerf Dog kart! lol! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] What was he thinking?!?)

 

Fishslab, we're booked into Honeyman from March 20-28. We return home at the start of the easter weekend ( I assume that would be a busy, goon show weekend). Let me know if we can meet up this time.

 

I learn something new everyday. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I have a 125 breeze and it moves around good in the dunes at Pismo. For years the Breeze was a staple for the rental companies on the beach. The Breeze is simple to operate, automatic with frwd-N-rev, that's it. Performance and mobility will depend alot on the size of the rider, power to weight ratio. I have a raptor 80 also. It moves around pretty good in the dunes. The Breeze will out climb it, mostly because the breeze is larger 125cc. A breeze isn't high performance, but for an entry level rider it can be alot of fun.

 

Not sure what dunes you saw the Yerfdog, but it could have been us.LOL It was a great way for our kids to get broke in on the sand. They managed to break the crank after I got to hot rodding the stock 6hp Tecumseh on it. I put a 9hp Tecumseh on it and it gets around just find. The Breeze that my buddies kid rides is stock except that he runs 20" paddles on it. It gets to anywhere a young rider has any business going.

 

confused I have vacation around that time. I would like to hook up if posible. Mama thinks she may want us to visit her family instead of riding. I'm working on it, but it may be a losing battle. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
