Have a 3.5 year old that is starting to outride his zr120. Been riding it since 1.5yr.

Thinking of maybe snow checking him a zr200.

What age where your kids on what sled?

I started my son on a ZR200 when he was four. Put a hose clamp behind the throttle to slow it down some. This year and no hose clamp and he is doing fine.

Probably never too young for the 200 if a kid has learned any throttle and brake control. The 200 is really just a full mod 120 now 200 long tracked custom mod sled but now from stock. Mini TDoo syndrome.

People Could easy just skip the 120 unless the kid is physically really small or no parent coaching/supervision or just A.D.D. Prone

You won’t have to worry about burning all your fuel by noon anymore when they start coming with you to the big hills. Brought my boys up for their fist trips this year. It’s been awesome. Now the problem will be telling them they can’t come on the big boy trips.

My boys are 4,7, and 10, summer bdays. The 10 year old started riding a phantom 250 at aprox 6 years, but that is physically way larger than the 200. He’s now on a evo rmk that has really exceeded our expectations for it’s capabilities in its stock form. New problem is carrying fuel for him. Stock jetting for sea level prob pissing a snail trail... and small tank.


But around home my 10 year old wants to take out his little brothers 200. To Work on his technique, (they watch the you tube). Dad come see my hop over...

The 200 exceeded expectations this day too. 200 is at the back. #track poachN

That's awesome, I never considered taking the 200 up to the big hills but I am now.

Are you messing with jetting on the 200 or just leaving it stock?

I will probably pick up a 200 now seeing this.
