The 2009 Yamaha Grizzly 700 EPS As far as 2008 was concerned the Grizzly did pretty well against it's competition. The big question was would the 2009 model see people with their begging bowls out looking to change? As nice as last years model equivalent was, the 09 Grizzly 700 EPS does growl more that it's bite! So is it a case of "Bigger is Better? "The 09 Grizzly - Undressed - Just because the NEW 700 Grizzly is the lightest in it's class did it mean that they down tuned the horses to release more of the beast? Yamaha seem to think not and they have a big belief that it has made the handling far better than ever before. It seems hard to get to grips with that idea - throw a paper[..]

Fun on 4 wheels? When I first caught glimpse of this Quad Bike early 2009 I thought "Oh my god, it's another one of those Sinclair episodes!" How wrong was I? Cectek have gone completely mad by developing something the market was working towards but with some love and attention on features that other manufacturers try and charge you extra for. Whilst being very careful with what they did, there was no compromise on quality and production. Styled with some extra fun, the Cectek Quadrift 500 EFi has pulled up extremely close to the mark and bordering on something else. Not only have they filled one gap in the Quad Bike market but have also created another, which once you have taken the[..]

The Brushy Mountain Motor Sports Park can be found in Alexander County, North Carolina. This park is friendly to ATV riders, Motorcycle riders, and UTV riders and has been in business for several years.

This park was chosen for it rave reviews online, and because we needed an honest to goodness proving ground for the new Linhai-Yamaha 400 4x4 ATV.

When ATVs (All Terrain Vehicles) first hit the market around 1970 they were something new, exciting and unique. The first was a 90cc ATV made in Japan but sold worldwide. In those early days, ATVs had no suspension, per se, but relied on big balloon tires to cushion the ride. As the name implies, an ATV is meant to go off the road, on all sorts of terrain. This ability makes them not only a lot of fun to drive in different environments, but also makes them quite useful for doing all kinds of jobs where a normal, full-sized vehicle might be an impediment. They're great on a farm or a ranch, in the woods or mountains. The first ATVs (known as the ATC 90) appeared in an early James Bond,[..]

As their proficiency grows, so does their needs - and over time, your child's 50cc ATV may need to be modified and adapted. 50cc ATVs are normally quieter than othersbecause 50cc ATVs are often quieter than other types, they are considered to be the fastest-selling type of ATVs in the market. despite being[..]

There are very few things more enjoyable for kids than riding an ATV. However, there are a few lessons every rider (especially a kid) should learn while getting ready to ride a kid ATV. Here are a few of them: #1: Watch What You Wear Every rider should wear a helmet at all times. Proper eye protection should also be worn. Chest, knee, and elbow protectors are also an option. While getting ready to ride a kid ATV the rider should also put on long pants and a long sleeved shirt no matter how warm it is outside. Also, boots should be worn and gloves are a good idea as well. #2: Safety First Always review all the safety rules with the rider when getting ready to ride a kid ATV. Make sure the[..]

It is small wonder that children and teenagers get excited about having their own four wheelers.  If they have enjoyed the excitement and fun of taking an ATV off road with mom or dad, it is natural that a young person's curiosity would make them want to have their very own four-wheeler to handle themselves and know that sense of freedom and power driving an ATV provides.  As the adult in the life of your youth, you know the fun of four-wheelers so you naturally want to let your son or daughter have one to begin to learn the skills of four-wheeling first hand. By the same token, you know the dangers that driving an ATV off road can present.  The caution and common sense that is second[..]

There are many ATVs on the market for kids and perhaps you might start them out on a relatively in-expensive model such as the 2007 DRR DRX 90, which is a Taiwanese built cool little sassy ATV.

You will also be happy to note that they have quiet mufflers to keep the sound down low. Should you buy an ATV for Christmas for the kids? The 2007 DRR DRX 90 costs $2200 so it is relatively inexpensive as small ATVs go. And generally you can hardly buy a moped for that price anyway.

There are different types of Mini Quad ATV engine sizes for the different age brackets of children. The smaller engine sizes, of course, were designated for the use of younger children, due to less developed motor skills, and giving a more powerful mini ATV to a young child will definitely be disastrous. The mini ATV's with larger engines were designed for older children, and for those more experienced young riders. The ideal age and engine size range is listed below. 50 cc Mini Quad ATV The 50 cc was designed for the use of children ranging from 6 years of age to 12 years of age. These are the smallest types, and are obviously the slowest of all mini quads. These are equipped with[..]

Getting a four-wheeler for your teenager takes more than just putting out the chunk of cash it takes to buy it.  When you put a big bow on that ATV to have it under the Christmas tree or to give to him or her for a birthday gift, there is a lot of preparation you must do for this moment and plenty of parenting work to be done before you cut that youngster loose with such a powerful machine. Many of the biggest names in four-wheeler manufacturing produce models of ATVs that are targeted at the youth market.  A four-wheeler that is designed for a teenager is not the same as the one you have parked in the garage that you use for your work or recreational needs.  For one thing, a youth[..]

In recent days where the popularity of ATVs is growing tremendously and so is the growth of the population in the United States, and with these growths, we find that there are lesser and lesser ATV trails available in the country.
