Default extreme machines

Anyone have any experience with the extreme machines atvs? Looking to buy one for the little guy and I found these surfing around. Price seems reasonable comparing it to the others. Just wondering if anybody has one or seen how they hold up.
Thanks

hello there. yes we had a 2001 90cc for my son it was his second quad.it was a very great machine for him. it does have some susp for them to jump with.and with a few simple mods you can really make them little things run.parts are easy to get also becuse any of the little polaris or eton quads the parts can be swapped. also you may like to know after some research i found that the engine is a yamaha scooter engine.tehy run great. in 2 years of hard riding we never had a single breakdown ever. the only time any thing broke was from him wrecking it . the us importer for the extreme machine is called dealer dist and if i remember correctly there in missiouri. the guys name is lane smith. ive talked to him on many occasions and there a great company.example-when we got ours the stickers came off at the car wash so i called them and they sent out 2 full set of new stickers on improved 3m adhesive and we never had another problem. teh other set was for a friemd that had the same problems with theres.. great quad for kids hell i had lots of fun on the thing to. hope this helps you out.....

My 6 yo has been riding a 2002 90 since December. No major problems yet. The middle exhaust mounting bracket broke off completly. The stock air filter is poorly designed. It can be difficult to get a good seal. I'm a bit disapointed with the plastic also, it is cracking around some of the mounting points, especially around the headlight assembly. I probably will talk to my dealer to see if they will fix it under warrantee.

Having owned mostly Honda's maybe I am just holding it to a higher standard.

It has plenty of power and goes way faster than I want my son going right now. I keep it restricted to about half throttle and it still goes pretty good. I guess time will tell if its going to hold up over the long haul.
