Sport Bikes like chain drive because there lighter and lose Little less HP to the rear wheels and can change there gear ratio easier with teeth counts.
For off road you want shaft drive ,can you imagine a 4x4 truck with chains to the drive axles rather then shaft with diffs. LOL

Not sure of any sport shaft drive ATVs.
Honda 700xx is shaft I believe. My 400ex does fine off road on all the places I go. Just wish I had reverse sometimes let me tell ya.

Not up on my sport ATVs but there are a few with reverse. My Dirt Bike were chain and fine enough.
They should make a Sport ATV with shaft drive and reverse for the casual weekend racer/trail rider.

The Honda 700xx weights as much as some 4x4 Utilities. All the 4x4 sport ATVs are just Utility ATVs with sporty plastic with no racks.
