Is the 220 bayou a good ride for the wife.
#1
My wife wants a fourweeler of her own. She is scared to death of my 400ex even thoug she does sort-of know how to ride it. She wants something light and nimble. She would like an auto but there are no small sport autos and she wont even look at a big utility so today my dealer amed us at the 220 bayou. She can live with the auto clutch. My main question is, Is this a good, dependable machine for my wife to putts around on? Is there any problems with them that I need to be aware of? Thanks for any replies.

I bought one for our daughter. My experience and all that I have heard would suggest that they are bulletproof. My only complaint is the push-steer which is unavoidable with single A-arms up front. Also, I would consider it just a tish small for an adult - but that hasn't stopped me from putting a lot of miles on it myself!

My wife is skittish of the larger quads and won't even try my Prairie. She keeps saying, "It's too big." She's had a 220 for a couple of years now; however, she gets around on it like Evel Knievel. As stated, this machine almost requires no attention. Put gas in it and go. We've had no problems to speak of.

i had a 2000 bayou 220. its was great! but then i wanted somthing more agile and better shocks. i traded for a 2001 Lakota sport! i like it alot better, auto-clutch, chain driven (little more maintainence) better shocks, and great handling on the trails. if she wants to be a little more aggressive, i think the Lakota would be great, i have not had any problems with it thus far. i use it in the good weather about 3-4 times a week. i wished i had bought it the first time, but you live and learn! p.s. i got used to the auto-clutch very fast (which i am surprised) i can acually tell which gear i am in from the reving of the engine, thats a major milestone for me! hehe! but of couse i like the color! hehe!
