I know where there is a Roketa 250 for sale, any information on this would be greatly appreciated.

First choice is the Yammabuggy 400cc with the 5 speed but cost is almost out of my range, Plus it is wide but it does have that 5 speed tranny which I find attractive...

Second choice is the Hammerhead 250 with high / low gears. I will be riding on trails and need the narrow width, plus it has a good reputation and two dealers close by. This is probably the one I will get unless anyone can tell me to stay away.

close third is the Joyner 250 with high and low, but no dealers close to me, is wider, bigger turning radius, yet may be built a little better and may be a little better with suspension...

Then this roketa came into the story. Any dealers in St. Louis? I will check the forums in a little bit for information but my daughter is telling me to get off the computer and go outside and play.... talk to everyone later.

I am in MO and will be looking for people to ride with, I know a lot of people hit the St. Joe Park in Farmington....

It would depend on what Roketa that you are referring to. Roketa has about 6-8 different 250s on the market and some are good and some aren't. Need more information to give you an opinion.

The hammerheads are good machines and any machine with a split transmission is a nice accessory.

The Joyner has the nicest suspension of the machines and the most ground clearance.

I will try to find out which one it is... in the meantime

I am going to do some homework but here are the questions I am trying to find out.
How much more ground clearance does the Joyner have
How much wider is the Joyner vs the Hammerhead
Is there a Joyner dealership that I could get to near St. Louis MO.
Is there really a big issue with the turning radius of the two?

I will be stopping by tomorrow,
Rick
