I decided to take the leap and buy a couple bikes, 1 for my father (65 yrs) and 1 for daughter (12 yrs) I dont expect them to be too hard on the bikes and thought that one of the new off brand bikes are a good place to start. After doing some surfing, I am completely confused!! Is there a good website that you can read reviews?
I wanted a utility for pops 200-250 cc, A 110-150 for my daughter. Any thoughts or suggestions Anyone ever heard of a Sunl brand? http://store01.prostores.com/servlet...ter/StoreFront

 

before deciding on sunl, you need to research them starting with sunlsucks.com, internet web pages are full of opinios on sunl, just type in sunl, remember raceway and a number of other dealers quit selling sunl for a reason,

 

The off brands have come a long way in the last few years. Search around, as many times it is as much the dealer as the product you need to buy. I would highly recommend looking at some used Japanese models, at least for your dad, if budget is a key factor. You can usually find a used 250/300cc "big" brand ute for around the same price they are starting to ask for a similar new offbrand. I have tons of experience with the Japanese quads lasting 20+ years with just routine maintenance and little else. As for your daughter, she is at an age where the off brands actually have the best selection by far. Plenty of posts on this site and others, look at the overall trends, not just the "my xyz110 sucks because" stuff. Good luck, I really enjoy riding with my young son, and can't wait for my daughter to get a few years older so she can start riding too.

 

Dealers drop SUNL for several reasons: 1) low quality 2) the warranties are useless 3) replacement parts and after-sale support are almost non-existant.
