Default what is the best kids atv

does anyone know how fast a preditor 90 is. I was looking around for an atv for my 10 year old son and i dont want to get something that he is going to get bored on right away. I heard that the yamaha raptor 80 only goes about 20, i dont know if it is true or not. I have a yamaha 60 atv for my 5 year old son and that goes about 25 but the 10 year old looks like a monster on it.

The 90 Polaris Sportmans goes about 20 to 25 mph with the limiter turned off. My friends 8 year has one and i've followed him around the trails, goes good, but not speedey by any means.

I would seggest the yamaha blaster. Its a 200cc its actually pretty peppy. It has a 2 stroke engine wich is air cooled. It will go pretty fast but you can always set the limiter. I should fit him nice for seveeral years to come. One other thing it is a manual i dont know if that is what you want or if that is a problem. visit yamaha.com and check it out.

I think the Predator would be small fit for a 10yo. The Blaster would be a little much. They are very snappy but the size would be right. I just bought my 8yo son a quad and he loves it. I would suggest it but you say you want the best. Good luck.

I think before I went with the blaster, I would get the trailblazer 250. But he is 10. I'm planing on geting the kids a Pred 90 this spring my kids ages are 10 & 7.

I got my 9 year old daughter a Honda 250ex. It's easy to ride (autoclutch) it's light and it's totally bulletproof. Just change the oil and clean the airfilter.

depending on what age the atv is for. I think the 90cc polaris models are a good choice and the Eton atv's are nice too and most of the atv's even have reverse now.

Try looking at the phoenix. They are the same size as a blaster but 4 stroke. I am sure they will have upgrades soon for them.

For 10 yr old just starting out I would find a Yamaha 125 Breeze or the new version the 125 Grizzly.They cost more than the mini quads but they aer very user friendly and have enough power to pull any adult.I will say this about them though they are the most UNDERRATED small quad built.My son rode one for 3 yrs until he graduated up to a modded 250 Trailblazer.
