We're thinking about getting another ATV. We currently have four, but there are five of us. I'd like to get a early/mid 90's sport ATV. It will be used as a trail ATV and just general riding.
The ATV's I'm considering are the Honda Fourtrax 250X and 300EX, Kawasaki Mojave 250, Suzuki Quad Sport 250 and Yamaha Warrior 350. I have experience with the 250X and Warrior. I had a 92 250X for a few years. My uncle had a late 80's Warrior. I've always liked the Warrior's size. I'm 6 foot, 250 lbs.
I rode a Quad Sport 230 years ago. I use to ride with a guy that had a 250 Quad Sport. I never rode it though. My 250X and his QS 250 seemed to perform pretty much the same as far as power and speed.
I don't have any experience with the 300EX or the Mojave. I did ride a 400EX once. I don't need the power the 400EX has. Is it safe to assume that the 250X and 300EX are pretty much the same machine with the 300EX having a little more power?
How do the five ATV's I mentioned stack up against each other as far as performance, handling and overall quality go's? I'm sure each model has their own flaws. What are some things to look for with them? Hopefully I can find one that is still stock.
The Kawasaki Lakota looks nice too. I think I want a manual clutch though.
