I've owned numerous atv's and atc's over the years, but only one Kawasaki. Out of all the vehicles I've owned, I've had the Kawasaki the longest. It's a 1983 200A three wheeler. Man it's ugly. But it's one of the most reliable machines I've ever had. After years and years of use and abuse, something finally broke - The chain fell off and bent the shift shaft. When I got back, I took the side engine cover off and couldn't believe it has a 7 disc and 5 spring clutch. That thing's built tough! I must say that kawasakis are built well and are very reliable. Just thought I'd put in a good word for Kawasaki's.

 

My friend has an 85 atc250sx and it looks like someone rolled it off a cliff! It has different color fenders, bent bars, mickey moused light, broken choke cable, and a HUGE dent in the gas tank but the thing fires up with 3 kicks (battery fell out years ago!) every time and runs like a tank. It is the machine we always get to pull one of our "high performance" bikes out. She may not be pretty but she' one tough trike!!!!
