My first ATV (or I guess ATC LOL) was a Kawasaki KLT 200, company green color. 5 speed with clutch and no reverse. The nicest thing was that at the time, it was the only ATC that had a differential so I could always do good turning and seeing how others did at the time I was glad to have it. It was in prime shape when I traded it for the first Bayou 300 but over the years I've had that thought we sometimes get of how we should have just held onto it. What I'd like to have just by wishful thinking is a KLT 250 (I'd at least have reverse then) and put paddle tires on it for sand riding. I know Honda's where the big name back then but I still am glad I had my green machine.

 

Yep, KLTs are fun. I love my Hondas but I also have one green machine, the rear diffy & manual clutch are my favorite parts. Here's a picture:
