what would be a good quad (80 to 90cc)to get for my boys 9 and 10. somthing that i can up grade later (pipe,jets,etc) to get more power out of it when they get use to it.found a nice lt80 are they as fast as the eton,kasea etc


thanx

my boys have honda 90's. they're 11 & 12
we mostly do trails & tracks. they started with these @ 7 & 8 . I didn't want to buy 50's & then have to sell & buy again. I'm not much for the after market stuff. Out of sight , out of mind! Pack it in. Pack it out! Gotta ride & not bring attention to yourself so no ones complaining. Next they'll go to the honda 250. I like new - more riding time less repairing. I like 4 strokes - quieter & no mixing gas. Kids like the comfort on the honda - we compared the e-ton when we shopped. Kid size is important for a good fit. Good luck.

get the honda 90. i use to race one and we had no problems with it. And they are great for trial riding and easy to find aftermarket parts for.

I agree, for that size of a chiold, I wouldnt get a smaller one than a TRX90, they seem to fit the older kids better ;)

well i made i BIG mistake on the weigth he's is 130lbs the 10yr old (now 11)the 9yr old is about 60 so u don't think the kasea or eton 90 would be good for thr 11yr old

The 11 year old is at a hard age due to the CSPC guidelines. I would get him a 250EX even though it will be a little too fast. Anything else he will or already has outgrown. The other boy would do fine on any of the 80 or 90cc quads. I like the Eton's best, the 90R has reverse for the trails. If you only want one quad get a 90cc, or at least buy it then get the your older son one later that will fit him.

You WILL NOT like the LT80 for trails or sand I don't think, i would suggest the TRX90 they are bullet proff little quads, we have a 99' that my oldest son started on when he was 8, he is now 15 & still likes to mess around on it,our lil guy(6) also rides it now, but has trouble shifting, for racine we just got a Kasea 50 for our little guy & our VERY impressed w/ it on the trail for a 50!!! It went thru & over anything we threw @ it this weekend!! Good Luck :D
