Kymco, Kazuma, Jackel and other "off-brand" ATVs
I have been looking at these ATVs - mostly just on the internet. I have seen a few (in person) from various import companies. I wonder if anybody here has any experience with them.
Many also offer decent looking dirt bikes and scooters.
Seems many of them have engines, and maybe transmission/final drives, maybe more stuff, that are cloned copies of Honda or Yamaha.
Most look to be reasonably well built - but arguably not up to the same level of refinement as a Honda, Yamaha, etc.
BUT, they are a lot less expensive. I can buy a new 250 with front rear rack, shaft drive, etc for about $2500-$3000.
Here is an example:http://www.strmotorsports.com/showro...250/index.html
I have seen some for less $$.
They have one year warranty and appear to share many parts with one of the big four Japanese mfgrs.
I know some will say: "Don't buy one. You are better off with a good used Honda."
That might well be true. But, I'd still like any input from anyone with first hand experience.
