Lt-80. Tons of parts for it. Put a 105 kit in it and a fmf pipe some turf tamers on the rear and it will have plenty of power. Could use some new shocks though. They are great quads though:blah:

Yep LT80 is the way to go. A few friends of mine have kids that ride and all of them have tried the "other" mini quads.... the LT80's seem to be the best.

We have a modded LT80. It is fast as all heck. We got it ported and polished by Jack Moore and I still think it'll outrun any mini in terms of pure speed. It is widened, works shocks, etc.

But, in all honesty I have to mention that the Kasea has a true swingarm in the rear, the LT80 has a looney setup where the motor doubles as the swingarm. This is a major consideration in MX. The LT80s are still dominating most of the national races(there is on kid on a Kasea that when running right he runs away from everyone, due to the Kasea's ability to hit jumps), slowly but surely Guys like Peak and Hetrick are gonna get the Kaseas out in front more and more. If you do get a Kasea, make sure you get in touch with one of the few builders that are up to snuff on the Kasea. Most Kasea dealers are not very knowledgeable about their product.

Another factor, I am told that the Kasea is a lot easier to work on.

One more note. The Suzuki still has the kasea beat in reliability, IMO.

You really have to wiegh a bunch of factors and decide. Sorry to complicate your decision,:eek2:
