My mom and dad want to buy my 5 year old a 4 wheeler for Christmas and
found a person who buys them and assembles them to sell. A 110 camo was
579. A 125 was 799.

Where do people order these things from to re sell and are they junk?
The person on the phone said they were identical to a Honda in terms of
the engine and somethign abotu the company buying a patten from Honda?

Well, lessee -- they're hard to get, there's no one established who's
willing to sell them, and they come from China.

Does the phrase "Chinese Copy" ring any bells?

Ask yourself the following questions, then make your own decision:

"Where am I going to get repair parts?"
"Who do I go to if it dies on day #2?"
"Who do I go to if it dies _and_ injures my kid on day #2?"

Seems to me there's a good chance of injury to a kid running a 110 or 125
cc
machine. That's a fair amount of power, can a kid that age handle it?
But then I'm old and stuck in my ways....

I'm with you, Phil. It's the lack of experience. I saw a kid get killed on
a motorcycle when I was 14. He had owned it two days.
