The 200. It looked like a decent quad but it looked like it's for a kid. The Yamoto is the only one they got off the lot and road around. It clunked it's way down the street. Sounded sick. All I could think is my next quad will likely be a Honda.

 

Thats what I try to tell all the full size adults that want one.

I havnt seen any of the new Yamoto's. I guess its not a big loss.

We were at the Trader's Village in Grand Prarie, Texas. Tons of the China quads, scooters, micros and buggies. I tell you 'm still intrigued by those buggies. They look like fun to me. If they ever stick a decent engine in one I MIGHT be persuaded.

Just think in most cases the new adult off-brand quads are lacking in areas or cost about as much as a nice used name brand. But each to his own determining what the best value is.

 

I have seen one of those close up at Gordons Well. It was a friend of TPR's and they had done a few mods to it. It worked pretty good but from what I read the trannies are geared to high to be effective.

I have noticed the same thing about full sized chinese quads.

 

How do you like the Enduro? Is it full-size?

 

It would be great to putt around on the street. Ours didnt see much of that. We are stripping it down(got gold anodized rims and everything) Trying to make it sort of competitive off road. My son is entering it in a Family Enduro this fall. And yes it is full sized.

 

Yeah I am starting to agree with you guys on buying a used name brand. I found some in my area that are between 1700-2500. most look like Yamaha Blasters, Warriors, and some hondas I cant remember. I had thought about the blaster till I learned it doesnt have reverse. Utility type quads in my area are so retardedly expensive it not even a consideration, except this one Bayou model I saw. I kinda liked it but it was maybe a little to old for me. I really do not want an automatic, I do prefer electric start, I need reverse(to lazy to get off and push), and I want the newest model I can possibly get within my budget. I browsed some other forums and I tend to agree I may want something a little better than some of these chinese quads, as well as I need to be able to have the support of a full service shop if need be.

 

Sure you could find a warrior or 300ex in your price range. Neither are fast but they get the job done, are reliable and have reverse.

 

I would still keep an eye out for the Recons and Ozarks, basically any of the small utes from the big 4. They are around, with a little luck and patience you can find one in your price range. Also, it is possible to buy a small grab bar/rack for many of the smaller sport quads. If one of those catches your eye, a little internet time should show you what is available for that model.

 

Warriors arent that fast stock but if you find one for around $1500 you can get a lot of mods
for it. The blaster has good power but doesnt have reverse or kickstart, so cross that off.
The honda 400ex can be found in the $2500 range and has fairly good power stock, but
they dont have revese. So I would agree w/ RL on the 300 or warrior.
