		I have a 2002 Bayou 220, and My friend bought one of these 250's for his teenage daughter, after she test rode my old 220, she needed a Quad that was able to cruise at 30 MPH and be capable of dragging a deer out of the woods. <br /><br />
Pros<br /><br />
1. Cheap price but well built<br /><br />
2. Easy on gas<br /><br />
3. Easy to steer e<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">ven with the atv overloaded<br />
4. Top speed is 40+ MPH <br />
5. Maint. free shaft drive<br />
<br />
Cons<br />
1. No cooling fan/oil cooler for low speed work<br />
2. It could use another gear, with lighter riders power isnt the problem RPM's are<br />
3. The seat is a little too firm <br />
