I think that one is a Yamaha copy (the frame, at least). IIRC, it was referred to as the Bad Boy. Did it say Gio on it?

My Kawasaki 250 ATV has 'semi' independant rear suspension. It really does provide a little smoother ride than my buddy's similar but solidly mounted axle Honda 250 ATV.

That's a nice feature on a Chinaquad! :P

Cool ATV! Definitely leaning more toward utility than our Beast and T3 Gio's... I like it
