My 5yr old is driving me crazy! He wants his own bike now. Im looking at the kazuma kmx 50. Anyone have one of these? I dont want to drop alot of cash on it because he out grows everything so fast its hard to keep up with him. I would consider a used machine if anyone has one there tripping over.

I would look for a used LT 80. They are proven, plentiful, parts are plentiful and he will not out-grow it as quickly as the 50. There are many performance parts out there for them too. I bought one for my 9 year-old daughter last year for $600, then put another $600 in it. It has been very reliable, and I ride it as much or more than she does. Good Luck.

My son has one and it's been very reliable. We bought the bike for him two years age, it's a older model.
I have pic's on my bio if you want to see what it looks like. It's hard for him to go in the mud, so I make alittle
pit for him to play in. I think it's better to buy a cheeper brand for our kids, because they grow so fast.

Buy big!!

I bought my almost 3 yr old son a chinese 90 (yes he fits), and dialed the throttle WAY down. I figure he wont need a new bike until next year[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

We got my grandson a predapuss 50 when he was 1.5 and now he is almost 4 and still fits nice. I think he will ride it till he is about 5 and will need a bad boy then for sure! He has run the hail out of it without any trouble!

My brother has 3 Kazumas. The front suspention SUCKS!!!!!! That thing as all over the place when you ride!!!! The rear suspention is so stiff when I get on it it bearly moves!!! (260 lbs). I would personally stay away from them. I think there are better bikes on the market. My 2 cents.
