Hello, i'm new to the forums but i have been reading them for the past week or so. Im going to buy a ATV for myself in the next 2 weeks to a month and i'm not really sure what one would be best for me. I don't really care about top end speed, around 40mph is good for me but i want low end torque. I like to do trail riding but i also want to start going to the track to mess around. Oh and most important i don't have alot of money to spend on a atv, about 2500 is all i want to spend this go around.

Just a little about myself, i have about an hour or two ride time under my belt and i wanted an atv ever since. I'm 5'10 170 pounds.
Can you guys help me pick one that would be best for me, and what i want out of it.

Thanks alot

 

If you are going to go to any track and alot of woods riding I would highly recommend buying a used atv. The honda 300ex and kawasaki lakota are great quads. The Chinese atv are good but they will not take the abuse of the track. However thay are getting better. $2500 can get you a nice used atv. But if you had to choose watch qwho you buy from There are alot of companies that will rip you off after the sale. It will be hard to find parts if you dont find a good dealer. Raceway is by far the best dealer on the net. If you had to choose between the falcon 250, jetmoto250 and redcat 250. Go with redcat. They seem to be built the best of them all. Raceway atv has redcat and they are much less than 2500. The suspension is soft, plenty of power and hold up pretty well.

 

Sir,
Stay away from the Kazuma Adult 250 ATV. Although it runs okay, the low RPMs makes this unworthy of trails. I have one and it is so weak at low RPMs I'm scared to take it to the woods. I expected much more. I hope tha aftermarket takes care of this problem. We have all had the same problems...we have had some help on this forum and with the dealer...it is just a design flaw. SEADAWG
