Default imported ATV'S?

looking for a New quad to get my girlfreind into riding.. on something besides the back of mine, lol.
ive been seeing these kazuma, and quazi atv's for sale brand new with free freight for like 1200.. have anyone heard about these machines? are they junk and what happens if you need a part for these??
They dont look too cheap, they have imitation suzuki motors or honda motors, with v twins and dual exaust..

feedback on these quads? Waste of money or not?

They might not last as long, but why not find a nice used "big brand" for the same money, and know that you can find the parts to fix it.

im hoping to find one around a 250 or a little bigger, like i said for around a grand. i bought my current quad, the 98 lt160 for 300, but wound up sinkinga grand into it as of yesterday.. with paying for my house which im moving into next week, and everything, the money is limited... i would hate to get away from suzuki, but if its for my girlfriend, i really dont care too much.. maybe ill give her my LT and get a cheap 4x4 for myself for under 1500? anyone know good deals around now? in pa?

I can't speak for all of them, but the one at my local shop is a 250cc called "Commander" and it hasn't got the sack to get out of it's own way..reminds me of the 4 strokes of the 80's..but, it was stable and handled fairly well for the trip around the parking lot..

lol... for the trip around the lot.... so what your saying is the 250's are equivelant to around an 50 or 90cc 2 stroke in power? lmao.

whats a good used quad with out the hefty price that is 4x4 and has enough power to pull a trailer and a few deer out of the woods? anyone seen any decent deals around?? thnx for your warning on the "imports" i guess there just like hondas... no hope for imports at all huh?

I just read an article where Honda is suing the Chinese companies producing the "knockoff" engines and Yamaha is considering the same..so, these things may not be around long..not worth the risk.

And the one I was talking about arrived at my local shop in June '04 and is still sitting there..

yea yamaha should be pissed for taking theredesign of the raptors.. they all have "raptor style" the are the same damn design but miniature. and the all have " honda replica motors.. what if they start making a whole $hit load of LT imitations, lol..
anybodys got a ballpark idea of how much i should list my lt160 for if i sell it to get a 4x4?

Well what exactly is ETON? import crap or is it actually a part of yamaha? my brother got one of the little 90 vipers that look like a little raptor, and its not bad,i rode it a few times, and it aint bad, except for the belt drive, which was replaced 3 times in the past year, lol stupidest idea ever... rubber belt drive?? who thinks of this stuff?
