hey guys,
my first post here in suzuki land so be nice. haha

My son is in need of the new lt50!!! I see a pic of one on here. Are they at the dealers yet? price?

 

Yup, saw one at my local dealer last week, not sure on the price though. If I were you I'd check out then Lt80 too, they have a throttle limiter that can limit the speed pretty low.

 

Yes they are at dealers, pretty sharp looking bike. The dealer priced it at $ 1,799.00, but I wasn't really looking to buy one. This seems kinda of pricey to me. We ended up buying a 2001
LT 80 for $ 1,899 out the door, killer deal. My son is only 5 and he loves it. How old is the rider ? I've got some tips on the 80 to make it more stable.

 

my son will be 5 in sept. he is really doing great on his powerwheels quad! haha gotta get him ready to race!

 

Those Power Wheels are the best thing to learn on, teaches them some of the basics but don't go fast enough to hurt anything. My son is actually only a little over 4 1/2 and about 43" tall and the lt80 actually fits him as well as any of the 50's except the Suzuki 50. He did have an old
lt 50 between the Power Wheels and the new 80. You can make the lt 80 more stable with a tire change. When we got the 80 home it is so restricted it only goes as fast as the Power Wheels. The biggest problem with the lt 50 is they will outgrow it pretty quick. The other 50's are a lot bigger and so tall between the seat and pegs that the smaller kids just don't fit. If you are serious about the racing most places probably wouldn't let a 5 or 6 year old race an 80. You might want to look at the cayman or the Husky 50, don't know a lot about them but do have some info. You might be interested in some more info in the Polaris area under 50 shootout or mini shootout or something like that.
