Default Chinese Atv Review/ Buying one

I am sure ya'll have seen this posting a million times before...But here is my situation..

I don't have much cash to spend on a big name ATV. So I was wanting some honest opinions on the Asian Atv Market (Example: SunL, Redcat, Kazuma, Komoto, Roketa..Etc.)

I would like to hear from someone who owns, or has owned one of this ATV's. I would like to know which would be the best product for my money. I would like to get a 250CC.

So the question is which one have you had the most success with?

Personally, the adult quads aren't there yet for the off brand stuff. If you don't mind some wrenching and are just going to cruise the trails, one may be fine. Throw any jumps, mud runs or other abuse and you are probably better off finding a used big 4. From what I have seen, patience can net you a nice 250cc class sport or ute in decent shape for about the same price as a new Chinese 250cc.

I was looking at a blaster to purchase but I read the thread on them and they didn't sound to reliable, so I wanted to find out how the chinese bikes held up. their price is right around $1200.00 to $1800.00 for a 200cc., which is all I need to tool around on.....

I would definetly go with a used big 4 bike...The blaster isn't a good example when talking about reliability because its a two stroke sport bike and they get beat up pretty good..No to say it doesn't have its place if thats the kind of riding you do...You should be able to pick up something in the 250-350 cc range for that price that would still be fairly new and will outperform and outlast any of the adult Chinese stuff that I've seen..Are you looking for a sport type bike or more of a utility type machine?

I'm looking for I guess a sport type quad, similer to a honda trx 250ex. there not many used ones of those around, could be a good thing (reliable).

Yes that's along the lines I was thinking.Honda 250-300 EX...Also don't forget the Yamaha warrior 350.A bullet proof machine that they made forever with little if any changes..

I also need to consider ground clearance and the 250ex being it has a drive shaft has more ground clearance back there then a 300ex, those dang rocks.
