Any owners please rate this machine.....

 

Pure utility quad that doesn't know it only has a 219cc engine. Soft ride and not near as fast as most sport/utility ATV's. Very dependable as evidenced by a production run of over ten years.
Great value/performance ratio.

 

had a 220 for 7 months. machine had good power for its size. pushes real bad in turns, not good on off cambers. traded the 220 (1999) for a "00" polaris trailboss 325. a better machine all the way around. for only $200 more. bought a lakota the same time as the 220 . like it and keeping it also its faster than the trailboss

 

Well, I like mine ALOT. I would not trade mine for ANY other 250 Class quad. I have had no reliability problems. Fairly easy to modify. I have had mine in 4' water, after i got it out it cranked right back up(after draining it...ect) Could use better shocks though.

 

has any one noticed that the 2000/2001 bayou 220's look smaller.
my 1990 220 looks bigger than the new ones.

 

yes i noticed that they look a bit smaller than the old ones... I have a 94' with new wheels, and soon to have fender extensions and fog lights in the front...

 

thanks

 

When compared to other ATVs in its price range...I wouldn't buy it.

You can get a blaster, a Trailblazer, or a Recon for about the same price.

I'm not saying its not a good ATV, i've never owned or even sat on one. I've heard nothing but good about it.
