    Searching for an ATV for beginner 9 year old.

    Hi. I am new to the site & new to ATV's all together. About 15 years ago, I would ride my dad's hunting ATV through the trails in his woods & down the dirt road. Other than that, I don't have much experience with them. I am searching for ideas for something to start my son with. I am just wanting something he can ride around the yard in, maybe go with my dad out in the woods on his trails. He has only driven a golf cart, & that only a few times. He is pretty careful & a little timid. He will be 10 in June, average height, weighing around 90lbs. I've been searching used ATV's & I like the Yamaha Grizzly 80 but I have found, what I believe to be a good deal for a 2004 ETON Viper 90 (looks like it could be a little faster than I want) or maybe a Yamaha Badger 80. Like I said, I am new & learning, but I also want my son to have some fun. Any advice would be appreciated

    i wouldn't think twice about buying a eton i currently own 2. and have owned many more. when your looking at bigger quads you cant go wrong with honda, or any of the "name brand"

    So does this seem like a pretty good deal for a beginner? http://raleigh.craigslist.org/snw/4699845309.html

    That's a great price.
    You could do alot of work to it (not that it'll need any) and still come out below what it's really worth.
