Just got back from the kart shop. Steve had a new 90cc red atv. There is a throttle control on it so the speed can be regulated. Kymco has a 1yr warrany on all there stuff and I have been very happy with my 150.

there # is 770-603-1127 Steve or Stacey can help you

Kymco makes damn good stuff, but it is pricey! You do get what you pay for. The Kymco 90cc ATV's that I've seen are $1800-2000.

I paid 2300.00 for my 150, but service and reliablety gas not been an issue. if I was going to buy another atv it would be a 250 or 300 from kymco. ther 250 is a racing - utility model that looks awesome

Personally I would avoid any of the quads at PepBoys.
PepBoys doesn't support them and passes everything off to Baja Sports. Baja Sports is hit or miss on getting parts.

Whatever you buy in a little quad....avoid the SUNL's...particularly on EBAY.
Apparently they are still breaking frames (which SUNL has known about for over a year).

Santa brought my son a Yerf Dog when he was 5 - I know Santa could/should have done much better - but hey, now I know how to weld! Anyway, prior to that he told me he really wanted a mini-bike for Chistmas. I rode motorcycles for nearly all my life (sold the bike two weeks ago and bought the HH 250 - a decision I do not regret). I know first hand how dangerous a bike can be - thats why Santa brought the Yerf Dog:

As you can see below, he was very disappointed he didn't get a mini-bike.

I knew he really wanted to the mini-bike, but I did what I thought was best and safer for him. For the first year or so, he couldn't drive witout me in the passenger seat - we had a great time. Yes occasionally I'd have to correct his stearing but because I was sitting right next to him I could coach him on his driving. And of course I got a turn to drive too. I ... err I mean Santa even made pedal extenders - see my photo album.

Fast foward almost 3 years - he drives the wheels off of the Yerf Dog! And now the fun has doubled as he and I go tearing around chasing each other.

Speaking from experience, my suggestion is to go with the buggy.
