Not sure how many has kids here but I do. I have a son (14) and a daughter (13). My girl don't like the ATV's but my son does. I bought him a brand new 07 300ex for Xmas a year ago and he's getting a little to big for it. His birthday is next month and I'm contemplating getting him another new bike. I've been looking at the 09 400x but for the price I think it's a little outdated. Another thing is we winter ride a lot and he gets hung up quite a bit. He's a good rider and does things on the 300ex that's plain retarded.lol I went browsing today and seen the Monster Edition KFX450r for $9200.00. There was a 09 Suzuki Z400 with efi, piggybacks etc for $7600.00. The 400x is $8800.00. As I was leaving I got to thinking the Polaris Outlaw 525 IRS would be ideal. I can get that for $8900.00. Clearance is an issue for him, and speed is an issue for me.(Remember when you're 14.)lol He rides my 700xx quite a bit, but finds it big. He's about 5'5 and 140lb. He likes the Gade for ease through the snow and mud. It makes me nervous with him on the Gade because of the weight. If he ever rolled that on him he'd be done. Now since he's had the taste of power he drives the shit out of his 300 and I seriously think he's going to blow it up.I'm kinda tired of buying him new bikes all the time and I sorta want this to be the last one from me.(cars will be starting soon) You think a 525 is too much power for him. We ride about 10k a year so comfort is way up in the priorities also. Any input would be great. He's fairly responsible and I just don't want him to hurt himself. I'm 33 so I have many years to enjoy riding with him.
My wife thinks the KFX450r is it because it's cute.lol
