Well my plans have been squashed till I get my other half something to ride. She says it has to be easy, twist and go, and it has to be somewhat comfortable but still capable. I was thinking Golf cart :lol: she didnt find it so funny. :cry:

Any ideas on a dependable one? I dont mind working on mine, but hers needs to be fairly reliable and consistant. Oh, and cheap too. :lol:

Thanks....

Many of the 150's are large enough not to be kids bikes, and are automatic, and cheap to boot!

Hey, that 150cc Kawi-esq SHARK is pretty cool looking. I hope this turns out to be a solid and popular bike. It was difficult to see from the picks, what the rear shock set-up is like. Just my opinion but I'd like to see more MIC atv's go in the direction of Linkage-style suspension...although I hear many V4s owners are happy with their standard style. L8.

I have had great luck with my 150 sport model-which i now sell aftermarket parts for-ie[variator weights,carbs,head kits,cdi.wheel extensions-for widetrack stability.]Top speed on the 150 is 35-40.I've sold 20-25 in last year and had no warranty issues on the Hensim or Allroad models-retail in store $1799-online @$1050.00 plus shipping.I have also found a company carrying a 300cc sport quad-retail's around $2800 in store-online @ $2200 plus shipping.

sounds exspensive, i bought my 300cc online with free shipping for $2399 I havent seen to many places online that charge for shipping a mic quad.


and universal diver does it have to be a twist throttle? or is that just a term you are using, i can find you up to a 300cc automatic if you want to buy online.

I will only buy online. Its all about the $$$$$$ for me. I will fix my own stuff or park it and order another one for parts.

My, or rather Her, only requirement is that it be automatic. Twist or thumb throttle doesnt matter. Just no manual shifting.

My boy and I riding double ,was clocked at 43 mph (gps)on 150 auto atv...Vibrates like hell at 35-38 mph then smooths out again...likely some clutch work would smooth it out.

I bought one from Vbike for my wife. It is a great ATV, it's very fun to ride. The engine is a clone of the Honda GY6 engine, so aftermarket parts are a dime a dozen. Here is a link to it.
http://www.vbike.us/index.php?page=showpro&spid=26[/url]. The one I have is made by TaoTao. It has a different body style than the one on the web site.

Here is a pic of ours, price is $1099

It is a full size, both my wife and daughter can fit on it together. In fact it is slightly larger in overall size than my Vbike sport 250 V4S. The total width is 43" and is about 6ft long. This one is fully automatic and has reverse, a big plus.

I just ordered the 250cc Sport Utility from Vbikes! I doubt it'll make it here before Memorial Day, but it'll be fun for the summer.

highly doubt youll find an atv that isnt thumb throttle just about all atvs come stock with the thumb throttle systems not twist but you can buy kits that change it to a twist throttle hink there are universal ones never seen them for the china bikes specifically how ever you spell that lol good luck

I think this was due to federal law that came about in response to unsupervised underage kids and drunken ATVers (and maybe unsupervised, drunken underage kids) who were getting killed and maimed by these feral beasts of a bike with twist throttles...

I actually havn't been riding yet this year. I do plan on going out with the ATVs on Saturday or Sunday. Would love to take them to the mountains here in Colorado but there still is to much snow up there. I will be riding at a track down in the flat lands.

I'll let ya know how it goes and maybe post some pics.
