my kids only about 5 and a half years old, but he is a sport model. he has only been riding for 2 months. but he has taken to it like a fish to water. he learned about six months ago how to ride his bycicle with out training wheels in about 2 trys. he farted around with them on for a long time with them but realy did not like riding it much ."slow and hard to petal" but once i finaly got around to training him. he just did it. i could not beleve it. craziest thing i ever seen. and not just in a strait line he was going up in down the road in a matter of just a few trys. maybe thats just normal ,and i was and still are retarded? i don't know

so anyway back to it.

the little dude freakin rips on this mini atv it is a 100cc or 90cc?. i have had the throtel stop backed all the way out for quite some time. and he just goes. today he rode for 6 hours on the track. he was catching air!

he holds that throtel open in the straits backs off in the corners. uses the brakes, leans.

runs trees over, cuts some mean donuts. the little freak is a natural.

when he gets 7 i am going to step it up a notch or maybe sooner if he ougrows it sooner, a better bike.

i was thinking about a LT80 2 stroke. it would need A arms and some things to make it rip. the bike and hop up parts is going to cost some money. i am not looking to compeat. i just want to make him a ripper.and we can thrash together. not racing, just ripping for fun.

but then i found this thing and it looks prety sick stock and a good price. tell me what yall think af this bad boy.

i think $1100.00 is kinda steep. i'd prefer to buy an old 80 and do some mods. i got my 80 for real cheap on ebay $207.53. had to drive from oklahoma to tennessee. anyway i rebuilt that baby all by myself and it is bad to the bone. i probably dont even have $1000.00 in it. its cool to do it yourself, sit back and watch your masterpiece on the sand making memories. the most expensive thing on mine was the pipe. $200.00. but it sure is worth every penny.

 

Sounds like how my daughter was. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
I think 1100. is kinda cheap! LOL Depends on how close to Arizona you are I guess.
It's a 2k+ machine.
Soon you will need motor stuff and such. that will be the problem at present. Not much in race goodies for the 4 strokes "yet".
Thee isn't much to buy for the LT80's either. You mod what's there.
