I am looking at purchasing a quad for my son and my self, I have a lot of experence with quads but have not been on one in a few years, I have narrowed it down to a few brands, and would like both to be the same brand, any unbiased help would be appreciated. Here's the list

Raptor 660r and Raptor 80
Quadsport z400 and LT 80
Polaris Predator 500 and Predator 90

Any suggestions or experence with these bikes would be appreciated, my son is 9 and I would like to get a few years out of what I purchase for him if that helps any.


Thanks

 

 

honda 400ex... and 90? or but the ltz and quadsport would be the next best.. the 90 is the fastest the honda.. it was in atv action a few monts back

 

The Polaris quads would be a good pick. The predator 500 seems to be a good bike, and I have seen some of the predator 90's (scrambler 90's) that are doing quite well in the dunes and on the trail. A buddy of mine bought a D&D pipe for his kid's scrambler 90, and it gained 14 mph on the top end, so this little 2-stroke has some potential. I'd stay away from the raptor 80, it has crummy suspension. The LT-80 is a great little bike too, but the extra power of the Polaris (in both cases) would probably steer me in that direction. I do like the TRX90, but it doesn't look like you're too into the 400ex as a quad for yourself.

 

Buy your son a honda 90 nice machine and big enough that he will get years of enjoyment out of
it.

no electric start but their bullit pruff and fun to ride.
