I agree with the Honda 250 my father has one, has had it about 30 years, i think its a four trax not 4 wheel drive its an 87 model, engine bulletproof , starter not so much, and its not the starter itself it the gears, they break and get into the stator expensive repair, I think its happened 3 times since he has had it. It always makes a clunk sound when starting even with new gears and starter, never any carb problems or running problems. The only thing, I never liked the way Hondas reverse switch worked, push the plastic button and pull the brake lever at the same time. It always worked I just never liked it.

Honda 250EX. It's so tough that it doesn't need or have an oil filter. After 15 years of abuse the only things I've changed are tires, oil, battery, and starter. I don't remember even changing the plug or air filter. I never set the valves, cleaned the carb, changed the brakes, changed any bearings or cabling. Gotta be one of the toughest quads ever.
