the next quad she tried was this past weekend. it was an older yamaha badger. it was nearly perfect. 3 speed, which i like cause i can keep her in first gear till she gets the hang of it. and it has a foot brake. its sized right too. the only thing i dont like about it is the lack of suspension in the front. its not a deal breaker, but its pretty lame. the lack of headlight is lame too, but easily resolved with an led cube.
anyways, does anyone have experience with this quad? i can find them pretty regularly for about $800 on craigslist. are there any other options out there? its really hard to look at pictures or videos of quads online and scale what size they are. i was thinking the raptor 80cc would be suitable, but it looks considerably bigger.
