I bought one for the wife still braking it in and she hasn't opened it up yet we are taking it to the local riding area and put it through its paces from what I rode of it is nice little quad to small for me though. I will let you know how it goes. I recieved the next dirt wheels in the mail the other day and they did a write up on it. The said it was a real good machine for work and play and should do real well in a shoot out with the competitors.

Paid 3,600 for it out the door I bought it at the say time I bought the praire so he nocked an extra 100 of each machine. Right now the prices will be hier when they first come out any way when I checked on mine for last year the dealer wanted 8000 out the door I went to a different where i bought the wifes Ozark and with that I got it for 6,600 out the door.

It handles similar to a Recon and 250EX. Very light feeling and corners great. It's slightly larger than a Recon but not by much.

It will dust a Recon,250EX,Bayou250, and BearTracker on top end speed. I doubt it would come close to a Lakota though.

I've put about two hours seat time on one so far and would pick it over the Recon in a second.

whould you pick it over the 250ex? will it beat it in a drag? probubly not but would it be close? so is it the best for trail, jumping, and playing around quad in its class? will it ride a wheely easy? thanxs!

This thing will eat a 250EX for lunch. Not an overstatement by any means. We ran them on the test track out back.

I doubt potential buyers of the 250EX will consider the Ozark because it is and looks like a utility machine. Just like the Recon.

But if Suzuki gives this quad the sport treatment like Honda did with ther Recon [making a 250EX], then Honda had better look out.

Being that Suzuki went the traditional route with an OHC engine design, unlike Honda, it wont be long for the aftermarket to start making hop up parts for this engine.

You guys are tempting me, my Visa card is empty
[no money owed}, and I have a truck to sell thats worth about $4500. I need another trail quad in the 250cc range to complete my fleet. That Ozark sounds mighty good!!

It actaully already has the "250EX like" handling.

Put on some sport tires and remove the racks and you might have something there. It still would have the "utility look" plastic, but it would still be closer to a sport quad than a utility.

I hope Suzuki does plan on making a sport version of this quad. It would surely be a class winner. Especially if they kept the price around the same as the Ozark. That would make it $400.00 cheaper than the 250EX.
