| Ranchers,
farmers and outdoor enthusiasts looking for a simple
yet rugged and affordable all-terrain vehicle (ATV)
that can work hard and play hard can look to the Kawasaki
Bayou® 250. With its durable four-stroke engine,
electric start, five-speed transmission and steel cargo
racks, it’s one of the best values on four wheels.
The Bayou 250 ATV utilizes
independent A-arm front suspension and is the only
ATV in its class to feature a semi-independent multi-link
rear suspension. This design provides a smooth, compliant
ride without the complexity and maintenance requirements
of a fully independent design.
Additional features include
triple drum brakes, hitch bracket, easy-to-read fuel
gauge and a 12-volt accessory connector that makes
hooking up electrical accessories quick and easy.
Plus, its steel cargo racks can carry a combined weight
of 110 pounds.
As with all off-highway vehicle
recreation, Kawasaki encourages ATV riders to ride
responsibly and to respect the environment. Kawasaki
will pay first-time buyers of a new Kawasaki ATV $100
for completing an ATV rider safety course conducted
by the ATV Safety Institute (ASI). Interested consumers
can call ASI toll-free at 800-887-2887.
