How about the breeze 125? Until the flood of chinese/taiwanese/etc minis, this bike was in a class of its own and gave young riders the stepping stone they needed after they outgrew their or were too big for thier 50-90cc atvs.

I was trying to think of the name of that quad, I was gonna mention it.

How about the BigBear/Moto4, its been around for awhile and has been dam reliable.

As far as sports go I'd say they all have their own place in greatness.

Should it be #1, or #2 behind the raptor 80?

The raptor 80 is a badger 80 with new plastic. I started on a Honda SL70, then graduated to a CR60. Kids are better off on bikes.

I'd personally have to say yfz 450. The raptor is a mean machine, but I don't like the way it looks too much. Yeah I know it doesn't matter what it looks like blah blah blah, but if I don't respect the bike then I have no reason being on it. Its ugly.

Thanks madddog56, I started on a 2 hp no suspension mini bike and never left 2 wheels. I definitely agree about kids on dirt bikes.

SOOOOOO I FOR ONE COULDNT PICK JUST ONE OVERALL BECAUSE ALL YAMAHA ATVS ARE GREAT AND ALL HAVE A PURPOSE except a blaster [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] haha.
sorry but for pure power the banshee bucks the Raptor for sure. Hey raptors a nice bike but even raptor owners say the banshee is the best for strait line power.

and I Agree with you totally maddog. I started in first grade on a 3 speed no clutch yamaha PW80. then did the RT100 and the RT180 before I moved to ATVs. I think they are safer and teach you great balance skills. I love my ATVs but my dirtbike will always still be in the garage.
