Who makes the best mini for the price?
Thanks.

 

Boy you are opening a real can of worms as this subject has been hashed about several times.What is your intended use of the mini.Is it just for trail riding,play bike or will you maybe race it sometimes or maybe get into some serious racing?Also how big of a child will be riding it(height and weight)?Before the "Kasea is best" crew gets here I will give my 2 cents and say there isn't a best mini atv.There are best mini atvs for your application whatever that is.

 

Well, it will be a play bike and for trail riding. I have two kids 7 and 9 average height and weight. I was looking at the MZ 100. I know about the CPSC limits, but that is what parents and throttle stops are for.

 

Just to throw this in, but the LT80 is a time proven "German Tank". They run for years and never give problems. I dont consider there to be any better than them. Just my .02[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

What is an MZ 100?.Never heard of it.Any links to a website or anything?We have an 04 E-ton Viper and it has been a great bike so far.I think most of these Asian mini's are pretty good.Polaris has about the best stock suspension that I know of.I have no experience with the Kasea but they are highly recommended on most mini sites.The Honda's and suzuki's are very reliable but getting a little dated.

 

I have never heard of the mz100. I have a lt80 and honda 90, a little higher priced than the other brands, but you get what you pay for. Also just about very major company has parts for lt's and honda's.

 

Sorry, it was an Xtreme 90 and an Xtreme 100. Are these any good. I can get the 90 for $1700. + tax, no freight or set up. Is that a good price. They look pretty sturdy. The dealer said they would throw in the bulbs for the headlights also. Wow, free .20 cent bulbs.

Bubba, do you like the older Nighthawk S bikes?

 

well the DRR has a tuned pipe kid susp. and the lights too. the head lite waz 50 bucks for it. i also got a rack for it so my son thinks its a six pack rack and i put a cooler on it with water. i have had it for over a year with no problems this year we raced it to . i paid with tax 1900$ the web site is www.drrinc.com

 

To add to Fastfreddy's reply, my neighbor is a mini dealer.They have to replace nick-nack items on the wheelers all the time, and they have had to go into several transmissions to replace broken gears and busted cases. Most of these people werent racing them. You definitely get good quality with the major companies.

 

Hi there, we purhased an ETON -Viper 90cc earlier this fall and after looking around for a while found little else that could compare given its disc brake, head/tail/brake lights(which you need if you plan to ride on crown land). The mtce is srtaight forward and this chat line has been quite helpful. My son is 7 quite tall and weighs about 75lbs and is about at the intermediate level in 2months. I would recommend it over the others for cost, mtce, and looks. If you are not aware Eton and Polaris use the same motor and it is very reliable. It is not bad in the snow either.
