Wife and I went out riding today, and got some good pictures of her on her new Kawasaki Brute Force 300. Since it’s not a Honda, figured this would be the best place to put this thread. She never rode an ATV before, and this one is perfect size, and though it’s not Honda quality (the BF300 is made by Kymco), it has more features than the Recon and every other ATV in its class. Disc brakes, more ground clearance (though admittedly not by much), liquid-cooled 271cc engine (that they call a "300"), and other stuff (storage compartment, 12V accessory plug, bottle holder, etc.). She absolutely loves it, and that’s what’s important to me. 🙂
We had an absolute blast today, and I’m so proud of how well she rode the technical trails. She liked "warming up" on the easier trails, but asked me if I knew more technical, slow-crawling trails, and of course I did. The Brute Force 300 took it in stride, and because of how nimble it turns, she had an easier time of some stretches than I did on my Rancher! We have Sena 20s bluetooth headsets and she kept saying, "Babe, this is so awesome!" Enjoy. More to come. 🙂
