[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] I just looked at a Polaris 50 at a dealership and noticed the left fronttire rubbed on the plastic box? underneath the fender coming from the carb?This was a concern for me since I figure it's another one of these many,many problems found out to late after you drop almost $2000.00 on a kids machine!I was wondering about everyones expieriences with these quads I mentioned up above.I live in northern MN and I'am having a tough,frustrating time trying to choose a quad for my son!Are they all junk and full of quality issues?I would be confident with the Raptor 50 but heard it was terribly underpowered!I've searched about 5 different forums and still have no answers to this ATV search?So please Polaris,Bombardier,Yamaha owners give me your opinion on your personal expieience with any of these quads!!Thank you to all that respond[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

None of the above, but if I had to choose, it would be the Pred. Don't know that much about the DS50, but the Raptor is craptor. Seriously look at the E-Ton Viper, Kasea Skyhawk, or the LT80 before any of the ones you listed.

 

Stay away from the Yamaha! No power what so ever and same for the Pred 50. I would look into the DRR 50, Kasea 50 or th Eton 50. If you want a 90 any of the brands you stated above would be a good choice.

 

I have an Arctic Cat 50 and we like it so far. The Bombardier, DRR and the Arctic Cat are pretty much the same quad,different plastic.

 

Everything I've heard about the new Polaris 50 has been negative.The raptor has a very poor front suspension design.Don't limit yourself to just those 3 brands.Take a look at them all.I personally like the E-tons but I'm sure there are other good ones as well.

 

I got a 2004 predator 50 and i have not had a problem with it.
first of all your talking about a 50 cc for a kid, its not going to be like the adult sized one's.
yes there ALL CHEAP!!!!!!
you got to ask your self, whats the age, size, skill of the rider?
you may want to step up to a 90 cc.
i've been in to dirtbikes, three wheelers, and atv's sence i was a kid i looked at all the makes/model's and the predator 50 was the best IN MY OPINION!
