    Well you might want to see what company makes parts for your Honda.....their name is Kymco

    Kymco has produced parts for ATVs and Motorcycles sold by Honda, Yamaha, and Kawasaki for years, they decided they could just put all the parts together themselves and sell the units at a lower cost.

    Yes Kymco does produce parts for the other manufactures. I really don't like the mongoose 300 though. My friend bought one for his girlfriend and it is tall a narrow. My daughters TRX 250 EX is the same width but doesn't feel near as tippy. One problem I see with the Mongoose 300 is it is an entry level quad with an automatic transmission and easy to tip over. Its the perfect combination for a beginner to jump on and get hurt because they don't know how to ride a quad.
    My friends girlfriend wanted an automatic because she didn't want to think about shifting. Guess what, she just got thrown off going around a corner on a fire road because she wasn't leaning. She was just setting on it giving it gas just like I warned him about when he was looking at buying it.

    I am not saying it is a bad quad other than I really think they should have made it wider since it is a tall quad.
    Kymco's are better than Chinese quads but I will stick to the big guys myself.

    chipworkz is right the Mongoose 250 and 300 models are not as safe as they could be.

    They need wheel extenders in the back.

    They also need front A arms extended.

    I have a 2007 Mongoose 300 in orange that looked great... I have ridden in Tower City PA for about 8 months. Another issue is the semi sport quads are not meant for PA trail riding....thats another post though.

    First good snow storm I went out on my 300 to try some small donuts nothing crazy.

    1st one almost tipped.....2nd one, sides up on 2 wheels, going over almost, but I pushed the opposite way with my weight and set her on all 4.

    I thought maybe where I was trying was too icy underneath so went to an empty parking lot through her into a donut and met the snow covered asphalt.

    I was wearing a padded coat and helmet fortunately as I smacked the crap out of the side of my body and head.

    Quad landed on me,,,,, cracked the left rear plastic, and broke a 5 by 8 square piece out of the left front fender.

    Im going to trade it for a Polaris Sportsman 500.

    The one on the right is a Mongoose 300. The rider's name is Dan McCaunnaghey, and he races GNCC for factory Kymco, and also races most of the District 14 harescrambles. This was last year (at a D-14 race), this year his is on an MXU500 in the 4x4 lites class. He ran the Mongoose in the GNCC Sport class last year and did very well (consistent podiums and a couple wins if I'm not mistaken). His Mongoose was insane, there was pretty much nothing stock on it. It wasn't particularly fast in the open, but it was amazing in the woods.

    That's me on the left on my 2WD-converted '97 500 Scrambler, holeshotting him to the first turn. I could usually smoke him pretty good from the dead-engine start to the woods, but once we hit the woods he would pass me and was gone.

    The second pic is at another race, and shows how much I could pull on him from the start in 150 yards before the woods entrance. That's about the only time he ever saw the back of my quad.

    Just Honda... Kymco was actually once part of Honda Taiwan before splitting three ways a few years back. One became known as Kwang Yang Motor Co. aka KYMCO, the other Sang Yang Motor Co. aka SYM (Can Am's partner). The manufacturing processes stayed in those factories, Honda still purchases components from them as a supplier now, instead of being internal (outsourcing) like GM did with Delphi, Ford did with Visteon, etc.

    My Can Am DS250 engine is a Honda design, using the Honda CN250 scooter engine components. The Kymco 250 looks the same. Now you know why...
