Sounds good, I bought a 97 Puma for my 8 year old son last christmas. He loved it! I paid $650 and had to replace the top gear and wearbars. A tree fell on it this fall! Luckily, I just found a 98 Jag 340 without a motor and am going to switch the motor this weekend. Pumas and jags in my area are sky high on prices right now.
The 97 is a different chassis, so I don't know about yours. Ours was just right for a carefull kid and wil be be enough for his mom to ride once in a while too. He just gets to drive around our field. I am planning on taking him out on some back trails this year too.
