blak banshee Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 One of my coworkers asked me to relay this message to you guys. He wants to get a quad for his 10yo son. Preferably one that has clutchless shifting. What do you recommend? I told him about the cheap off-brand ones and he was skeptical, but if you have had any experience with one are they any good? Also if your on long island and have one for sale let me know. thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel3190 Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Honda Recon 250,had one when I was 11,good bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csrmel Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 any 90-200 would be good. i would personally recomend something with a throttle limiter so you can limit the power untill the kid gets to be a good rider. i reciently got my 8 year old nephiew a rapror 80. it fits his body perfectly and he loves it.

JET 99 Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 those small overseas atvs(chinese??) you cannot get parts for.............. if he is going to drop some money atleast make sure you can fix it............... the big ones yam,hond,kawi,suz,polar, you get the idea ...... all can get parts for, but some still easier and cheaper than others :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STLBILL Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 a honda 250r three wheeler would be good cuz they is cheap, fast and parts are readily available. Either :ohmy: and :shoothead: then if you are serious or :yelrotflmao: :yelrotflmao: :yelrotflmao: :yelrotflmao: If you are joking. The Honda ATC 250R was the poster child for the end of dangerous three-wheelers in the 1980s. Sure go get one for your 10 year old kid... if you want to kill him/her and do some jail time for it.

06BaNsHeE Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 (edited) a honda 250r three wheeler would be good cuz they is cheap, fast and parts are readily available. If im not mistaken thats 350twindeathbed banshee in your sig..... Anyways my smallest brother is 7 and he was good on a raptor 50.Maybe he should try a raptor 80 or maybe even a little blaster.That was my first bike when I was 11. Are you serious about the 250?

Mullet Man Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 It would teach him/her good technique so they could move onto a banshee and be more adept at handling a quad. and if they don't listen they will pay for it! i'm gonna go give my son a running chainsaw. he might learn good technique but if he cuts his arm off, atleast he will have learned a lesson! did you grow up under high voltage powerlines? seriously, go take a long walk off a short pier!

blak banshee Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 I appreciate the feedback. Ive been writing down all the recommendations to give him. Except the 250r. Its good to laugh tho, lowers the blood pressure and stress of everyday bullshit. I know his son races karts during the summer, so he does have experience with a motorized machine. Is the raptor 80 a newer version of the badger? I think the blaster is bigger than what he is looking for otherwise he would have asked to try mine. Anyone remotely near us selling a namebrand beginner quad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiftdT4R Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 cant beat the yamaha breeze. engine is bullet prof and very easy to work on. mine survived two kids and sold it for what i paid for it . its automatic with reverse and you can find them used for a good price Ohh god, you could take that thing to war and back. I started out on a breeze, and we would literally try to kill it, never worked, that thing ran until the day I sold it. I would stay the heck away from those chineses quads, I bought a chinese pocket bike at pep boys on a whim, and the bearings were shot in like a week, nobody had replacements, so it's been in my shed for the past year. You can pick up the beginner quds at GREAT used prices, I would rather do that then buy one new, check The Want Ad Press, they are pretty big in this area. Good luck! :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
