question about kfx90 and 6yr old... to much?

[bignehls]

been doing a lot of research on mini atvs and learned to stay away from chinese crap so i'm back to name brand stuff. Heres my problem, really experienced 6yr old dirtbike rider and 8 yr old daughter need atv big enough to go thru sand dunes and up hills. I know the 50cc is just to underpowered so i need to know is the 90 just to much power or just to big (controls and lever) for 6 yr old.
i'm looking to buy new and the closest dealer is suk and kaw. so my choses are limited. have guy selling kymco about 40 miles away so that might be option.

any help or opinions wuold be great!!

thanks

If the kids have expierience, the 90 will be fine.
You'd be much farther ahead to find a LT80 (2 stroke) for the sand.
The Kymco's are rock solid machines as well.
The Zuki 90 has no aftermarket goodies that I know of.
The Kymco does have goodies available.

lt80 thanks for the response...
i have had my eye out for used lt80 but no luck. hell i have been looking for anything used and in good shape but nothing worth while around here anyways.

i"m leanining towards kymco cause i understand they are the same thing as kawasaki but a little cheaper and have found a few afters for it.

i will snatch up any lt80 i come across even if i buy a new machine now.

one more thing is the 80 about the same size as the 90's and is it cvt.

thanks again.

[LT80]

Approx the same size and both CVT's.

My bad,,LOL..I mis read a lil. The KFX80 was a Zuki. You mentioned the KFX90 which you already know is a Kymco.
We bump up the cc's, put a different head on, pipe, lil clutching and they perform well.

Shoulda wore my glasses..LMAO.

The DRR ATV lineup is worth a look at


Lots of power....their 50 will run up against on those 90cc 4 strokes in stock form....41" to 44" wide...super stable....real suspension and lots of power....


Great bikes, but even better people supporting them

PM me if you need anymore info about the brand

Figured I would mention DRR since your rider may be used to the 2 stroke power


Good luck either way!!

Are the Suzuki and Kawa minis still the same machine? If they are different, who makes the Suzuki 90?

[LT80]

Suzuki makes the Z90.
I asked the Zuki dude at the races and he said it's a Zuki motor (not a polaris/eton/etc).
I haven't got one on my bench yet so I can't say 100% tho.

The Kymco is a very reliable machine and can be pretty fast with some goody go fast parts. And Jack is correct that Kaw is made by Kymco along with Artic cat. The really good thing about Kaw, Artic and Kymco all being one is that plenty of parts are interchangable. And they are all 4-strokes that are going to be the way of the future (really fast).
Yes the DRR's are good machies. But 4 strokes are going to be the only thing out there. But as always, just get what you seem to like the best.

[bulldogfallon]

Until the 4 strokes are the only choice (years away) then if you want to win and not break the bank then a 2 stroke is really the only option....


4 strokes just can't compete in stock form......until a manufacturer comes out with a fast 4 stroke they will not be taken seriously in stock form.


I bet you will see a 4 stroke DRR that is race ready in the near future.....hint hint
