Animalman294 Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Well, it sounds pretty good, especially since the Raptor 50 goes for approx. $1900 and the Raptor 80 goes for $2300............ :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunyabinness Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 i wouldn't run that thing anywhere but on SMOOOOTH pavement. it has NO suspension. i would spend a little more and get her a real miniquad. just my opinion. that might be fun on the street but i think it would beat her up anywhere else.

Big Blue Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 There are alot better options for kids quads out than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06BaNsHeE Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 HELL NOOOOO.I used to have a pocketbike with the same exact engine.It wen prolly like 25mph. Pipe cracked second day I had it.And its impossible to find parts for that thing.If you want something good and cheap maybe look like at eton or w/e.But that is a waste of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynb15 Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 it looks cool, but i was thinking of getting something like that, but the dirt bike. I think i going to try and find like a used 50cc or 80cc. That way i can beat the hell out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STLBILL Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) Kids are valuable things. In worst case scenarios the courts hold parents accountable these days too (for the few parents who don't blame themselves). If you don't think a kid or even an adult can be killed on an ATV think again. Asphalt is hard and unforgiving if you crash. Even if it means just falling while getting on and off it. Does it have any of the restriction features the junior quads have? Most have an airbox restrictor or "learning key" design that lets your child grow into it. I think one of them - Suzuki LT80? - even has a tether to literally keep the kid on a leash until they learn how to ride. - Just my .02... EDIT: Fix typos...

Honda: TRX90: air restrictor at the snorkel Polaris: Pred 50: electronic limiter, tether Polaris: Pred 90: electronic limiter Yamaha: YFM 50: air restritor at the airbox, and a tether Yamaha: YFM 80: air restritor at the airbox, no tether and ALL of these bikes have a throttle limiter screw. pardon if i forgot something, its been a while i since ive dealt with kids quads.
