Default Step up from a LT 50?

Well, I think my boys are ready to step up from there LT50, anyone have some helpful info as to what model I should look into? They will be 9 in May (yes, they are Twins ) I hear mixed things about going to an 80/90CC. Some say just jump to a larger quad.
Any input would be appreciated.


BTW, I love pics.....lol

I think putting a child on a appropriate sized machine is critical...For a long life I mean.
There are plenty of used 80/90cc machines out there. I have 2 in now that bas bought for 400 and 500. Each machine when done will have approx 800 total investment.
IMO they could be sold for 1000-1200.
And at 1200 would'nt your kids get about 5k worth of smiles..
TRX90's are the most bulletproof mini made.
Most any of the Tiawanese made mini's are good (especially the 2 strokes).
Apex,DRX~DRR (the newer ones),eton,kasea,etc.
I'm not a big fan of 4 strokes (cept for the TRX) cuz of lack of power (compared to 2 strokes) and cost to get more power.
Altho, if your riding is in the yard or similar (easy trails etc) then a 4 stroke would be fine.
As for more options. Go to atvriders.com They have a vast mini section.
Hope that helps a lil.

I agree with lt80. I would put them on a 80 or 90 for a while. Get a used one and when you sell it you won't loose much.
