Default suzuki Lt 80 or honda atc 70

I need help, I am trying to figure out which one is a better pit bike. Also which one has more power to do wheelies. I am a looking for the one that can easily do wheelies with some power to pull me.

I had an ATC70 when I was a kid (7-11 years old) and it was a very low-geared, torquey little thing. I rode an Lt80 a while back when I was an adult, and the impression I got was if you're over 95 lbs, it seems like the clutch is going to burn up. Also, the 70 is four stroke, manu-matic trans. If you're towing a car back from the end of the strip, or just around the pits, I'd vote for the 70. I remember mine had a ridulously tight turning radius, too. It'd probably idle for 3 days on a tank of gas and not foul the plug.

My vote:ATC 70.

You're going to hit your knees on the bars, though...

The Suzuki has more raw power, but with the lighter front end and geared tranny, the trike will out wheelie it any day of the week. I say go with the 70, because they are cheaper and a lot cooler. That 70 engine will pull an adult around with little fanfare or drama.

They probably have about the same speed(TRX and ATC) Especially if the 70 is a later model with 4 speed tranny. I put our 90 in 2nd gear and it will wheelie all day long if you throw a little weight around. You gain suspension and the ability to bicycle, but for a pit bike, the atc still has that old school charm.

Go with the LT80 for sure. My buddies kids have 2 LT80's and a honda 90, the suzuki's are way better wheelies when your an adult "kid at heart". [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
