ive been looking for a 50cc four wheeler for my son...well ive found 2 that i have my eye on..i will give descriptions on both and need everyones feedback pros cons etc...first the 2007 polaris predator 50 4 stroke, needs battery, front fender is busted and looks to have been rode hard..2002or2003 suzuki 50 is in like new condition, 2 stroke, looks new and low hours, they both are priced about the same...so which is more reliable and the best buy....help please!!
thanks for any help

 

The Suzuki.
The 4 strokes are very underpowered.
The LT50 is very dependable
If your looking to race or anything, neither is a good choice.

 

Not really lookin to race..but how come you say it not a good choice for that ?

 

Because there are much better 50cc machines out there for racing and long trails and such. Apex and DRR machines are the hot item these days.
They can have dual a-arms thus a much better suspension.

My kid ran the tires off a old LT50. That thing would putt him around the yard all day long.

 

Ok thanks for the help, I have also found a eton, and a kymco both 2 stroke 50. Any input on these ?

 

Both are fine machines.
There are loads of aftermarket parts for the eton. Which may help when the 50 gets boring.

 

So how does the eton compare to the Suzuki? I was really leaning towards the Suzuki just because I really no nothing about the eton's haven't really ever heard of them till recently

 

Etons are one of the many high quality Tiawaneese machines. They have been around for years.
The Zuki is a great machine but little to no aftermarket goodies (that is worth while anyways). So if you think that you will never ever want more power out of a machine,,,the Zuki.
Other than that, the Eton.
If it was me, and the machines were comparable in condition and price,I'd get the Eton.

 

i 2 am looking for a 50 to for my youngest son. i have a lt 50 for my five year old but i'm wondering is the polaris 50 better ? i don't like the pull start but if its faster than the polaris than i will deal with it. what do you guys think go with another lt 50 2 stroke or get a predator . i would really love to hear your guys and gals feed back on this does the predator 50 have a limiter on it and does it have problem going up hills cuz my son's LT ripps him around just fine.. thanks for all your comments and help. ride on fellas keep your face to the wind!!!!

 

Welcome to the forums.
If the pred is the 4 stroke model, you won't have to worry about fast...<EG>
The LT50's as you know are dependable.
I'd say that it's what fits him better.
