Now the owner of a youth ATV, I'm forming a theory on ATV riders vs. bike riders. here's the thing, I think atv-ers are more into the looks of their machines than the performance. everything is twice (or more) the price on an atv and the units are not set up for consumer service in several areas (i.e. like changing tires). so my theory is that atv-ers are not the smartest people in the world and so it's almost like the industry is "punishing" them for it.
I've missed on so many things while getting this unit ready for my kid, that I feel like I haven't been in the sport for the past 15 years!
I guess what I'm trying to say is: ATV's suck! ok, whew, there I feel better now.
