ATV Buyer’s Guide 2001

As anglers and hunters venture farther and farther afield, the ATV continues to prove itself as an invaluable tool for the avid outdoorsman. Whether you’re hauling gear or heading for remote locales, the ATV has become the vehicle of choice for getting the job done. And to keep up with the demands of the rugged backcountry, the major ATV makers are once again offering plenty of new models and stylings, as well as a selection of vehicles designed just for fun.
Bombardier      Along with numerous evolutionary changes, the ATV market has some big surprises for 2001, led by a revolutionary automatic transmission from Honda, Yamaha’s outrageous Raptor sport machine, and a powerful new V-twin engine from Kawasaki. Add in the proliferation of pipsqueak four-wheelers for young riders and there’s never been a more innovative year in the ATV industry.
