My 5yr old is driving me crazy! He wants his own bike now. Im looking at the kazuma kmx 50. Anyone have one of these? I dont want to drop alot of cash on it because he out grows everything so fast its hard to keep up with him. I would consider a used machine if anyone has one there tripping over.

 

I would look for a used LT 80. They are proven, plentiful, parts are plentiful and he will not out-grow it as quickly as the 50. There are many performance parts out there for them too. I bought one for my 9 year-old daughter last year for $600, then put another $600 in it. It has been very reliable, and I ride it as much or more than she does. Good Luck.

 

My son has one and it's been very reliable. We bought the bike for him two years age, it's a older model.
I have pic's on my bio if you want to see what it looks like. It's hard for him to go in the mud, so I make alittle
pit for him to play in. I think it's better to buy a cheeper brand for our kids, because they grow so fast.

 

Buy big!!

I bought my almost 3 yr old son a chinese 90 (yes he fits), and dialed the throttle WAY down. I figure he wont need a new bike until next year[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

We got my grandson a predapuss 50 when he was 1.5 and now he is almost 4 and still fits nice. I think he will ride it till he is about 5 and will need a bad boy then for sure! He has run the hail out of it without any trouble!

 

My brother has 3 Kazumas. The front suspention SUCKS!!!!!! That thing as all over the place when you ride!!!! The rear suspention is so stiff when I get on it it bearly moves!!! (260 lbs). I would personally stay away from them. I think there are better bikes on the market. My 2 cents.

 

Check out eton quads. They give lots of bang for the buck. The are real reliable, got great reviews in all the mags they are also the kids quad of choice on the race circuit....jmo

 

Thanks guys, I will have a look at the eton's. That kid is growing to fast I can barely keep shoes on him. Hey Bomber, Michelle and I are still amazed at the rug rat that was tearing up your camp at Dunefest.
