Let me clear this up for you guys.

The author of this thread is comparing utility atv's to sport ATVs.

But just for kicks, how is the acceleration on the ninja 250?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

NINJA25O?

That's like comparing a eton 50 to a raptor. Ninja 250's are kinda of like pocket bikes not to be taken seriously. Sorority girls ride those around college campuses. Real bikes are CBR 1000, R1, GSXR 1000, ZX10, ZX12, Hayabusa. All of these run sub 10 second 1/4 miles doing about 140ish. All of these will still have have at least one more gear left at the end of the quarter mile. The 250 might get up to 75MPH Max. This thread is about sport quads. I've ridden my Hayabusa on a dirt road very slowly and it sucks. Actually now I am thinking a Eton 50 could beat my 195 MPH sport bike if it was on dirt road(lol).

A sportsman 700 will beat most 400 and smaller cc (strike the Z) sport quads in a drag race. Especially when traction is an issue. It will also keep up on "open" trials, anything too tight or with turns or whoops and its over. My sportsman could beat my stock 400 in a drag until I modded it, now the 400 pulls away and I have beat a stock Z400.
