have opportunity to buy a Yamaha 250 Timberwolf. it's solid and has a winch. a "real" ATV like my buddies have on our hunting lease.

but I see other atvs for much less - and they are new. like this one:

for the money I'm putting into a used Yamaha 250 I could buy two of those. I've read they are Honda clones.

am a newbie. know zippo. please help. will the cheaper one work or is that a waste of money and I should get the Yamaha?

my lease is mostly farmland, with muddy roads, but not serious mountains. be hauling me, some gear and hopefully a deer every now and then!

any and all feedback greatly appreciated.

Besides the quality advantage I would get the 250 Yamaha. The other is only a 110cc and has a chain drive and no instrumentation whats so ever and good luck getting parts.

I had a 85 Yamaha 250 Moto4 and 89 350 Bigbear (all still going) that went through hell and back were those no name ATVs would of fell apart years and years ago.

 

I'd go with the Yamaha. Those other machines are good to satisfy a begging child that wants a new atv and is only going to wreck, trash, abuse and grow out of it in 2 or 3 years anyway.

 

pleeaseeeeeeeee do not by the 110cc

im 6'0 160 pounds and i look like a giant on one of those!
they are chinese imports that will help with NOTHING
