Mike this is the route we went with Jakie, When he was 3, I picked up a used 1984 suzuki lt50 for $300. He rode it in the back yard and an empty field for almost six months. Then he was ready for bigger and SAFER (our little 50 would have the throttle stick on it, and Jake would just still be going round and round until I pulled him off or grabbed the kill cord, also was pretty tippy in stock form).Ended up working out a deal with a great guy and tradded the 50 for some needed parts, both party's happy. Jakie was able to pick up the basics with it and unloaded it easily, but it was short time period we had it.
I have a really good Dealer/Salesman I work with in Kent who sells Kawasaki's and Kymco's, I had never heard of Kymco so did some research and found out Kymco started in 1963 with Honda and correct me if I'm wrong guys but they made the 70 motor for Honda. They are the biggest scooter seller in Asia and Europe and well known everywhere but here, just started importing 3 yrs ago.
Jakie's is a Mongoose 50 2-stroke, is nice and wide, weighs less than most except the lt50, has a kill cord on the handlebar(racer style) so if he falls off it kills the bike. Oh and it is a torque monster, it will pull a decent size adult up most hard packed hills. In the almost 2 yrs we have had ours, No Complaints At All. We paid $1300 out the door, but I don't think they still make the 2-stroke, but still might find one at the dealer, Kent or Lacey.
We had considered the Predetor 50 and have heard good things about it, was more $$$ and it seems a little smaller, which could be good for the kid and does come with additional height floorboards.
Also looked at Eton's they have both a 50 and a 70. We really looked close at the 70 but Jake wouldn't have been able to race in the same class with it. Eton's do come with Remote's for stopping and they are decent priced.
Didn't even consider another New lt50 after the first one though, all the reading I did was how underpowered that little 50 was and not worth the money

Now this is just my opinion and the route we went, I'm no expert but I do know that so far both Jake and I are really happy with our route.

Orange gear wouldn't make a difference. I don't think any hunter would mistake me on my quad for a deer. If I get shot, it'll be intentional, scaring away the deer.

And how hardnosed a negotiator you are. If you are willing to walk away and give the sale to a shop that will give you a little better service, then sometimes they will give you extras to retain your business. Sometimes they don't. Depends on the dealership, salesperson, etc. It's always good to have feedback on other's experience at a particular place if you can get it, rather than walk in cold. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't.
