I think I've decided NOT to go with the cheap 3-wheeler (and instead go with a inexpensive china-quad). I've been researching for quite a while and could use some honest opinions. atvdiscounter.com has been the place with the best deals I've found...opinions?

What I am looking for is a automatic / semi-automatic atv to ride and to get my 14 year old daughter and my wife experienced on.

I like the look (and price) of these ATV's:
The Roketa's information says it's a Yamaha-clone engine, and being a 4x4 I could probably mount a plow and use it more in the winter to plaw my driveway! Does this mean that Yamaha parts are interchangable? I have a local Yamaha dealer and it would be great to know I can get parts and service locally! Please respond with your opinions and advice.

ATVD or I as like to call them "ATVdecievers" has a bad REP for the most part.
Some people have had good luck with them though, but overall the net is littered with people complaining about them.
I myself havnt dealt with them and probably wouldnt just from word of mouth reports on them unless I could walk into one of their dealers.
It seems the people that had the best luck from them were the walk-ins.

The Roketa 4X4 one looks nice but there is no way it weighs 240LBS as stated :lol: and I doubt you will be able to use yamaha parts on the quad overall but if the engine is indeed a yamaha cloned engine then that could work to your favor.
Being that its a Roketa you should be able to find parts and info for it easily.
I think you could still find a universal UATV plow to fit it though.(heres one)
