We had a Kymco Mongoose 50 2 stroke for my boys when they were younger and it was a solid machine. We did some fun mods and it ripped. My buddies 11 yo daughter still owns it and rides it. Made in Taiwan and good quality for the money. Same exact 50 as the Kawasaki. Just different plastic.

Might be selling the ATV as we don't use it much. Has a double, on and off road plate, windshield, winch, trailer hitch, enclosed long gun holder. Very low miles. We just use the side by side more.

Fit & finish are not the best, there are definitely corners cut in regard to the quality of the machine. It was reliable for a long time, now that we've started having issues it's hard to find anyone who will work on the brand.

Ya dont know what ya dont know... Unless ya have experience on comparable quality brand machines... Save $ for quality. Kymco is better then most "cheap" brands but its still cheap for a reason. Japan makes the best quaity in UTV and ATV period. Polaris and Can am closing gap but still lacking. CF Moto is improving quite a bit. A Kids quad for a few years is the only time I feel something like Kymco would be acceptable but dont expect to hold value, find parts easy or to not work on it frequently.

Post by: dc on February 24, 2021, 03:59:08 PM: Well did a whole bunch of internet searching and even called a couple motorcycle repair shops and inquired about there thoughts and experiences with Kymco as well as CF Moto. I ended up driving to Bellingham and buying a CF Moto C-force 400. Reviews are really good and both shops said they have customers with them and they dont seem to break any more than the big name units, easy enough to work on and both said that they would not hesitate to buy one. I obviously only have a few miles on it, but sure seems like a solid built unit.
