Hey DB not that long ago CZ was again in buisness reproducing an affordable mxer"CZ400" it was exactly the same twin shocked 70's model. It was in the mid to late 90's when I read about them, talk about a disadvantage fo guys racing vintage huh.

 

Funny I just never owned a Suzuki, almost bought a rm465 in '82, until I watched a guy "try" to start one at a mx once they even held up the race for 5 minutwes while he kicked and changed spark plug's. Got a '82 cr 480 instead. Alway's liked red, now orange does it for me.

 

I also think Yamoto will be the clear winner from China. They have a good dealer network in Phoenix, with real buildoings,a nd mechanics, etc. Most of these dealers are selling like crazy, and seem to know alot abou the bikes. They all read these forums, and do the required and suggested mods early.

 

I would challenge any of these to match E-Ton in feature for feature, performance , parts support etc, we can get E-Ton parts much easier and quicker than any we have tried, And the Adjustable cdi is unmatched in minis so far , The E-Ton 70 runs like 90. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Yamoto parts are a hard to get we had parts on back order since July, The engine is same as redcat [chinese honda clone ] No support , no shop manuals, no nothing!

 

Do your research , E-Ton is owned by JI-EE indusries since early 80's they have been building parts fore Yamaha,Honda, and others, match E-Ton feature for dollar with any out there, safest kids ATV made the new cdi adjustble govenor is awesome ! E-Ton has one of the best parts support out there , Kazuma parts Yamoto , some times we wait 6 months at a time , Also on 50 and 90 E-Tons engine trans is supposed to swap out with Polaris .

 

E-Ton is owned by JI-EE Industries[over 20 years old], they build parts for Yamaha,Honda, and others , engine parts will swap with Polaris in mini sizes.

 

Dont Etons cost about twice as much as the other Chinese quad's? Dont get me wrong i am not challenging your claim, but you do get what you pay for. Etons are the most comparable to the japanese quad's. Maybe even better with some model's.IMO.

 

Yeah aren't they in the same price range as the kaseas and dinlis?

 

I think one of the problems is we tend to group many of the off brands together into one category, and that is unfair. There are a few that have been around for a while now that seem to be getting their stuff together and making an honest effort to compete. But there still seems to be a great deal of dumping by companies that are out to make a buck too. With the way the dollar has gone into the celler lately, it is going to be rough for them to remain on the scene...

 

I got an E-Ton 50 and 70 shipped to my shop for under $3,000.00. I went to the big boys around my area and the price quotes were starting around $5,000.00 for them. So the E-Ton may not be as cheep as the other bikes but I think they are worth the extra bucks. I did alot of looking around and comparing bikes from all of the brands before I got the E-Tons. So far I have no problems at all. When I ask the place where I got them about parts down the road I did not see a problem.
