Need help finding a quad for my son.

[desert499]

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and looking for some advice.

I'd like to get my son a 110cc or 125cc sport ATV, but I can't I'm having a hard time swallowing the used market prices or even worse the dealer markups.

Is it possible to find a decent quality machine that I can order direct and do final assembly myself? I'm pretty mechanically inclined, I've rebuilt several motorcycle engines in the past.

I'm thinking like $1,500 for my budget.

I've been researching a lot, but I still haven't been able to determine the best brand/models I should be considering.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
