Kawasaki Bayou 220 Price, Specs and Review: Before Team Vins trail-conquering Prairie, V-Twin-powered Brutes, and sport-oriented KFX, the Kawasaki Bayou 220 reigned four-wheelers. One of the first ATVs to debut new features was this little yet powerful vehicle. This tutorial examines one of Kawasaki’s longest, best-selling quads.

The Kawasaki Bayou 220, first released in 1988, is widely regarded as the most reliable four-wheel-drive recreational vehicle. This 215-cm3 quad outperformed its competition and was so popular that it remained in production for 15 years. It included an automated clutch, reverse gear, and independent front suspension.

The Kawasaki Bayou 220 had a 215 cm3 / 13.1 in3 displacement, shaft drive, 9.3:1 compression ratio, 67 x 61 mm (2.64 x 2.4 in) bore x stroke ratio, and electric/recoil starting system. The Mikuni VM24SS 4-Stroke SOHC, Single Cylinder, Air Cooled, Fuel Capacity: 10 L/2.6 US Gal (Reserve: 2 L/0.53 US Gal) Engine is installed in the Kawasaki Bayou 220.
