Does any one know which year the LT50 was discontinued and the the LTA 50 was released.

Im after one for my son ,5 on his birthday. Im hoping i will get one from a friend whos kid has out grown it but still waiting on the verdict from the kid..

I have been looking on the second hand market , flea bay etc, and ii see there are some fairly poor copies of the older model. i also see there are LTA 50 going back as far as 2002 , and older style lt 50 that are claiming to beonly 4 years old.


So did the models overlap for that many years, i know there is always a X over pointof around 18 months when you will get ones sold late etc claiming they are the next years model.

I am not to concerned about theage of a quad , just that it is genuine suzuki and i dont get my fingers burnt by a chinese prentender

 

The LTZ-50 (4-stroke) started in 2006 and runs now currently. The LTA-50 (2-stroke) was 2005 and before, but not sure when that model started.

Hope that helps a little.

 

I'm prety sure the LT50 was first made in 1984.
heres my son this is a 1986 model he was 3 1/2 years old in the photo.

 

No offence but I'd look for another brand of 50.
The LT50 is a slug at best with less than no suspension.
Eton, Kasea, DRR, Apex are some good options.
