Default Name brand really worth it?

My 7 and 9 y.o. daughters have had a sunl 70 and kazuma baby falcon 110 since Christmas. They've been riding them almost daily for a month. So far, no problems after initial set-up, other than tightening the chain. We'll see how long this honeymoon will last.

The biggest design complaint on the chinese fully auto atvs is the too-high gearing of the transmission. The sunl 70 we have does really good over all, but there are certainly times when I wish my daughter had a lower gear to go to. I've seen similar complaints on the baby falcon 90. The 110 has a semi auto transmission (w/ reverse) which eliminates this complaint. So, you may want to consider this when buying.

Thanks again for the replys. I feel the kazuma is the way to go. They will only ride them maybe 12-15 times a year at the most, as we live in town and our back yard is big enough for the powerwheels but a 90 may have problems fitting behind the garage and fence on the track they have now. I spent the last hour or so reading reviews of the kazumas and redcats and found very little about any negatives. Mainly the suspension but the quads will be for trail only so jumping is not an issue.

as far as resale value, Im not realy concerned as my kids are 8, 5, 3 so it will get used for many years. If it gets little or no money for resale I will still be way ahead with the initial savings. If I planed on selling it after 2-3 years I may consider it a factor but if I throw away the quad after 5-6 years, with a price between 700-800 I will still be happy with my purchase. Also I have had my scrambler stripped almost to the frame 2 times(mods and upgrades) already and its an 04 so working on them is a non issue.

Thanks again!

Jim,

I think you will be pleased with your purchase. If you keep up on maintenance and do the proper setup it will last. And for the price you cant beat it. I would rec a reputable dealer like raceway that way you know you will get parts without a hassle. Like others say the suspension is stiff but most kids dont even care or notice.
