sometimes there will be oil leakage
Summary: I would have to say that the Kawasaki Bayou 220 is a great machine. It's handling is great as well as the suspension. I will tell you that the suspension on this machine makes you not even feel the bumps you go over. Also, this machine has easy ... read more

Pros: Affordable, VERY well-made, good off-road as well as on-road
Cons: Not too fast... but it's not made for speed, Brakes (the one I used)
Summary: Well first off, I have to say that it is listed at a very good price ($2199 US). It is pretty good off-road and the only time I got stuck was when the back wheels were stuck in 2 feet of mud. I easily got it out however. The Bayou 220 is VERY ... read more

Pros: reliable
Cons: reverse switch
Summary: For the money, this 220 Bayou is hard to beat. My experience with this Kawasaki shows superiority in this class. I have run against comparable Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki, and the Kawasaki clearly has more power, even with a 210 pound passenger. ... read more

The bayou is not only heavier than the honda recon, but it has less power and ... read more

Pros: Shaft Drive, 5 Speeds, powerfull, Great lighting and braking, Suspension is great too.
Cons: No 4 wheel drive.
