Hi is the kawasaki bayou 220 the same as the bayou 250?

 

try reading this information lower half of page

 

hey thanks for the information i guess it is with just a little more cc.

 

My wife had one for 2 years. Tough little machine, no trouble at all. She did not like it, the supension was too stiff. I agree with her.

The bayou 220 and the newer 250 are good quads and could be a rival for any other quad in this class.

The whole problem with the Bayou 220 and why they didn't improve this when they updated to the 250 is the front end.

The machine should have a double wishbone front suspension instead of the single with the shock taking care of the top end. If your going near the bottom end of the Bayou range everything is fine but if you start riding the machine aggressive the front end gets squirrelly. The best way to compare is to take a recon and the bayou over the same trail at a very fast pace. One of friends who had a 220 flipped his over a couple of times trying to go to fast on our track when turning.
This design flaw only show up at the higher end of the quads limits.

 

The 220 or 250 have not the best front ends but the motor is excellent for its duribilty.Its a sound Quad for the $.A great first bike. Enough said. Brushog
