My 2 girls want 4-wheelers. There 9 and 10. From what I've been reading is that the Kawasaki Bayou 220 is the toughest and easiest to ride. Need some thoughts and suggestions. Thanks Mickey

I've owned 2 different 220 Bayous.  They are reliable and easy to drive for a 2WD unit.  They have reverse, electric start along with pull start.

It may be a little big for 9 and 10 year olds. Have you looked at any smaller 80-110 cc units?  Kymco makes a good one for a non-Big Four manufacturer.

Thanks. I want to get one thats going to last. I know people that bought those off brands and they were junk. 1 broke 1st day and second one in a week.

Locally, a lot of Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki dealers also sell Kymco.  They seem to be well built, not like some of the other off brands.

Just picked up a Bayou 250. I think its a 2008 for $800.00 in great shape. Going Saturday to get  another one in even better shape. its amazing the prices you can get on these machines that seem to last forever. :yahoo:
