Hi, i can get '02 Suzuki LT80 in very nice cond. for $1200. The Manco is a '03 in good cond. and 90cc for $950. Both seem to run great, just don't know which one to buy. My son is a beginner rider. I do like the kick start on the Manco, i don't think the Suzuki has that. Also the Manco has the brake levers on the handlbar opposed to the Suzuki has a rear brake on the right foot and front brake left lever. Any suggestions??

 

You can run the LT80 for years and then sell it for not much less than $1,200. Doubt if you can do that with the Manco. The only down-side to the LT80 is that it's on the small side of the youth quads. Other than that it's going to last with minimal maintainance and costs.

Those were my first initial thoughts also. I do also have a 4 yr. old that will grow into it. So it will be around a few yrs.

 

On the one hand, you have a solid time proven machine from a well established manufacturer. On the other hand, you have an unproven machine from some no name manufacturer that probably won't be able to offer you any parts or service....you decide....

 

thanks guys, i'm going with the Suzuki.
