Looking at getting a small quad for the kids for Christmas, anyone recommend any to go for that arn’t over £600! The Honda 50CC was £2500 last year!

Something along the lines of this -
 
+1 for the Suzuki 50. Got a nice one in Feb one year for my daughter, paid £400. Sold it a few years later the week before Christmas for £600, and had not spent a penny on it other than fuel, could have sold it 10 times over, simply won't get that with a cheap Chinese one

how old are you kids?

we got one for 5 year old last year was such an arse to get out and sort then watching him like a hawk...

ended up selling it and getting a electric jeep, you can just leave him to it he flies all over farm yards and im not worried hes gonna hurt him self./

How old or big are the kids? A 50cc is a very short term answer and useless if it's not dead flat. Got a Yamaha grizzly 125 for my nine year old,8 years ago and still useful now. Reverse is worth a fortune which most kids quads don't have

I did not pay that ridiculous price for it,

wife found one mint second hand on facebook near us for about £350 if i remember correctly, its a beast and pretty quick too.

I rekon yours should be fine AL R to be fair we got it last xmas so he as only 4 then!

i got sh!t Chinese one it was pretty good for price but i would get a lt50 if you want it to last, i dont imagine it would have faired well with any serious use i managed to get rid of mine with a small loss
