Aren't they in the $1k range new? I've read a lot on the clones and 1/3 the cost seems more appealing... although I dunno the pros/cons other than that.

Not counting finding a deal on a small engine...my dilemma with the bigger HP engines is I can probably luck into an ATV for close to same price range. My buddy did the 200cc Honda chain drive (his was orig. electric) from a 3-wheeler. Another friend did the 250cc big red and used the (widened) rear axle. A 3rd friend did a 400cc atv swap and swapped the front suspension & engine/rear.

No doubt there an obvious difference between ease of install versus a lot of fab work. Again, just seeing what all the options are.
