For my wifes 1st ATV should I go Ozark for advanced, sporty ATV, or Recon for dependability?

 

The Ozark is more sporty for a Utility quad , has more features and Suzuki is a realiable quad to . The hondas are tough although I have heard quite a few needing top end jobs that seem to early compared to the 300 hondas of the past which ran forever . I was torn between the recon and ozark for my wife . We ended up with a new big bear 400 for the same price so we bought it . had it not been for that we would have got the ozark . when my daughter outgrows her 80 raptor she wants and ozark . heck even i like the ozark .

 

To be honest, either is a great choice. I have the Ozark and a friend has the Recon. Each are great machines and in my opinion, equal. The Zark is new, and looks the best. The engine is very dependable. The honda is a great trail rider as well. I like the ride of the Zark better, but it could be because I am heavier or it could be that it is newer. It also turns very sharp. I am use to a 4X4 though. For only a few hundred bucks more the Bayou is a good value. I'd say it may come down to the price and dealer suport. Oh yeah, you can get a winch for $69 on the Suzuki.

 

Get the Ozark, just a little bit better quad than the Recon all around. You can't go wrong either way, I love both of mine!

 

Thanks for the advice, loved your pics bobcatv8.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Go with the Ozark.

 

Get a beartracker very reliable machine and very easy to upgrade to beat the other 250s.
