#21
2 many toys to my knowledge the 125 does not have reverse i'll be getting them th march 3rd so i'll keep you informed by the way if you decide to get one go to ebay and use buy it now saves couple hundred over thier site
we live on the oregon coast so my biggest concern is how they will do in the sand .
since they come with spares i'll have 2 wheels to mount sand tires on
horsepower rating is good but @348 lbs i'll have to do some mods to lower the wieght i wonder if this includes the wieght of the spare and the rack?
how do you like the 110 over all?
i'll definitley post set up and how they perform
by the way get thier number off the ebay add call them and work them on the price you'll save a few bucks lol

Folks,
I went to the dealer-only Powersports show in Indianappolis last weekend. There were, and I'm not exaggerating, over 20 kids ATV companies represented there. The trend I see happening is they will be at the show, then the following year they are out of business and 2 more companies have stepped in to fill the gap. There are way too many of these companies out there. I receive email almost weekly from Chinese kid's ATV companies asking us to be a dealer. Actually, they spam us heavily.
The moral? If you are going to buy a kid's ATV buy one from a company who has been around for at least 5 or 6 years. Also, make darn sure that the company from whom you buy has a full stock of parts on hand and that you are able to buy parts or get service.
When we allowed RacewayATV in here as a preferred dealer that was one of the things that we did was verify that these guys carry a full compliment of parts for the machines they sell. If you by from them, you can be assured of good service, good treatment, and that you'll have access to parts should you ever need them.
I don't know anything about Venom but if you're considering buying from them I recommend that you do your research on the company and find out how long they have been around and how well they stock parts. If all that looks good, you'll probably have a good experience buying from them.

Thats why I went with Raceway when I bought my Kazuma 110. I know the market has been flooded with chinese companies but with all the research that I have done it seems Kazuma has been around for a while. I know alot of other companies sell the same atv (made by Kazuma) but with different names on them. Kazuma uses a susuki hub and brakes with a honda design motor so I dont think parts will be hard to find. I did look at the Venom 125 and have not seen them anywhere else but Venom motors. I dont think parts for the venom atv will be easy to find in a cpl years or so. It does look alot better built then most other youth atv's. I did not want to spend $2500 on a name brand atv for my 7yo son when I know he will outgrow it in a cpl years. It took about a month of cruising the net and doing research on tons of off brand quads. Kazuma and Yamoto were more known then any other off brand atv. They are everywhere. The only thing with Yamoto is I dont know what name brand company they imitate. I think it is Yamaha but no one seems to know. Thats why I went with Kazuma.

well guys got the shipment 1 day early .. after unpcking the frist box ..was pleasantly surprised atv came with a complete parts book,small owners manual and a repair manual. however not a single bit of info on assembly.
had to instal the tires handle bars with light mounts, activate the battery,front and rear bumpers and hand guards
got both 125s assembled , niether would start due to no fuel traced the fuel lines they went to a vacuum petcock,
called venom @7 pm .very helpfull guy took a pic of the routing and emailed it to me right away ,with all the pics in the service and parts manuals sure would have been nice to have a vacuum and fuel routing diagram.
as i was working on the lines venom called and offered help.
after trying for 20 minutes niether atv would start so i took the fuel line from the tank and connected it to the filter by passing the petcok
that did the trick both fired up instantly...
i was impressed by the support from venom the guy called me 3 times trying to help
girls had been waiting impatiently since they got home so i took the atvs for a quick spin in the front yard then let the girls have at them
front lights are functional, and put out decent lighting, so far we all like the looks and it doesnt seem cheap.. seat is good quality
handle bar mounted choke lever , nifty little seat release ... on the rear bumper mount very easy to get to and easy to operate wish all tvs had this.
overall very happy with the 125s so far will see how they hold up will attach some pics soon
70 i dont know havent put it to gether yet
70 says loncin on the enginge 125s i havent seen any thing but venom motors on them yet but i assum from looks they are loncin
parts book has good pics of all the hard parts
service manual seems comprehensive but after reading some last night seems they messed up a little translating but very good pictures
well going to change the oil now and lock tight every thing i missed yesterday ,either figure out the petcok or put a manual one on
keep on 4 wheelin

I just recieved the Venom 70 cc quad for my daughter who is 7. It is actually $599 plus $249 shipping. It was a total of $848 for everything. I am setting it up right now, checking fluids and stuff. Looks good, few minor things, but it is also the first I have bought like this, usually I have gone right to the dealer so the issues I am seeing are probably basic delivered quad issues.
Let me know if you have any specific questions about it. By the way, to get this price mention you saw it on e-bay and they will honor this price.

Been looking at various brands of these kids quads. They are quite a bit less money than the local yammie dealer has quads for. I am a little concerned about parts when they are a few years old. My buddy bought a one for his kid a while back and it had a defective fuel tank, he couldn't get a tank for it, the dealer where he got it said he would have to use something to patch it, he was very unhappy. I know you can't trade them in but I suppose you save the money up front, right? I talked to a few local dealers about trading them in for something bigger when the kids are done with them, they won't take them because they say they cannot get parts for them? I might just spend a few bucks more and get the raptor.

I agree with mywifesquad if you got the cash get the name brands but if your good with a wrench and don't mind fixing things then ..
chinese ..our purchase was a combination of curiousity and financialy it made sense to get 3 atvs for the price of a new blaster
only time will tell how these hold up ...
girls rode the 125s for 3 hrs yesterday no problems , my son was riding the 70,and passing them ,they where racing in a circle around a tree,
he is 5'11" and 180 lbs and was geting this thing on 2 wheels most of the time .. he did bend both floor board on it so i'll have to put some kind of reinforcment plate there...
do these compre to name brands in quality , and workmanship? NOOOOOOOOO way
are they worth the money? Yes
now i need to find a decent used atv for my 16 yr old he rides hard ,and has intermediat skills was thinking used honda 300
what do you guys think
