- This is a 1st person view of me riding the Kawasaki Brute Force 300 at Taskers Gap and Peters Mill Run OHV area in the Lee Ranger District at the George Washington National Forest (that's a mouthful). The only mods I have are the Ricochet Off Road skid plates which are VERY important for these rocky trails. I just want to show how capable this little 2wd entry level atv can be. This is a great place to off road a truck or atv. It costs $5 a day or $30 a year.

Finally a great video on the brute 300
Thanks! Loved watching this. I just got myself a 2012 "Red Betty" changing tires to itp mudlights AT. I love to ride; just wish that there were more trails here, and more people to ride with.
Nice. Thanks for sharing. We go to South Pedlar not I know what to expect there.
Great Trail system, I have been up there two times. The first time I went I took my older Kawasaki Bayou 250 and it did just fine, I enjoy that trail system. Thanks for sharing and if anyone else is wondering you DO NOT need an 11,000$ four wheeler to go out and have an awesome time! Thanks for sharing!
There will always be those people who could only justify buying the most expensive and highest horsepower machine out there. Anything less is for little wimps. I don't go riding with them
@@ThomperBeThompin that's because you're a purest. Things have gotten so out of control. People fall victim to clever marketing.... suckers.
Awesome video! I'll probably end up getting the Cforce 400 because I really want 4x4 but these things are tanks!
Right on man I think you're going to like it a lot.
brought 1 yesterday like the look
How is the bike holding? Great videos! I will probably get one
It's holding up incredibly well. As long as your expectations are realistic, I don't see why you couldn't be happy with this sweet little machine. I've had mine a year and now have over 500 mi on it and everything's holding up very well.
hey if u can plz answer where did u get mirror for atv cuz im buying an atv soon
These are made by a company called Koplin. You can get them on Amazon and they fit any handlebars
@@ThomperBeThompin thxs
We were up there today and MAN there are rocks everywhere. So bumpy, almost no dirt just rocks rocks rocks everywhere. We were on 443 and then turned around and went on 493 parallel to the forest road 374... and while 493 started out nice with actual dirt, it didn't take long to get to rocks, and then BIG rocks.
Are there any trails up in this system other than the forest road that are more dirt with less rocks? Very new to that area so we're trying to find a smoother trail. Appreciate any suggestions! Thanks!
Unfortunately tasker's Gap is pretty Rocky all around. The main Jeep trails there are not too bad but you'd have to go to a place like Hatfield McCoy to get proper wide open dirt trails.
South pedlar is not bad. It’s near where the blue ridge pkwy and James River meet.
Hey love your content ! do you have a link to those hand brush guard mirrors?
I don't, but they are both made by "Kolpin'". Can easily find them on amazon. Thanks for watching!
The mirrors inside the handguards are okay, but the other Kolpin mirror that bolts to the front rack is much better.
@@ThomperBeThompin ok thanks and what’s those handguards brand ?
@@ThomperBeThompin thanks awesome .. your welcome
What camera are you shooting this video with?
Just a regular GoPro. I believe it is a GoPro hero 7.
Can you put bigger tires on these 300 atvs?
You can go 24" and no problems... I did. I think you can even try 25". But forget about fuel economy.
I know I'm probably 2 years too late but I drive a 2002 Yamaha Bear tracker. The rear tire size according to the book is 22 x10-10. 22-in tire 10-in wide tread on a 10-in rim I'm currently running 25x11-10. You will lose top end speed because that 250cc motor technically a 229cc tops out at about 45 and I only get 35 mph and that is with a completely rebuilt motor so everything is brand new running. And the tires are also Maxxis mud bug tires so they have the giant rubber fins on them as tire tread great for mudding but a 250 ain't going to push through much mud but where I live they do come in handy when the ground's a little soggy after a good rain storm cuz we've got that hard pan dirt and the water doesn't absorb very well so the top layer gets mushy. Drop it in 2nd. And punch it she'll go I love that damn thing.
It's a kymco engine ?
Straight up
How do you think it would handle plowing a driveway? Skeptical with the 2wd
It has surprisingly good power with low gear. Might want to add a little extra weight on the rear racks to help with traction which will probably be your limiting factor. I'm sure it could handle most regular snowfalls, but once it gets deep and heavy it's probably going to struggle
How hot she get? In Florida. In deep sugar sand. She has 2 bars. Gets hot here. Lol Good vid sir
What trail has the lookout that you walked to?
It's on the peters Mills run side. The trail is on the east side of the primary trail. It's pretty early on if you're traveling from south to North and hard to miss.
Thanks. So either trail 457 or 474 according to the pdf download map?
@@pinetag14 my bad, the trail you get to this lookout is not an official trail number. It's more of a hiking trail. You can see where ATVs offshoot to the east, then you park and hike about 20 yards up these boulders to the lookout. It's really simple but tough to explain.
Gotcha, thanks. Great video btw!
You know that ride might be a lot more enjoyable if you stand up.
Have you ever tried laying down and riding? It is so much fun!
what is the top speed? how much is 2021
Top speed is about 52 mph and the price is an MSRP of $4,400
@@ThomperBeThompin ok thanks. do you remember this brute force 300 $4,400 or honda recon for $4,200
@@1112dejon you can't go wrong with either machine, they are both great. That said, if you are a little bit taller like me at 6 ft or so, the recon will be too small. I would choose the brute force over the recon, but check them both out!
@@ThomperBeThompin thank you
Kinda looks like a bike trail at the beginning.
Ally enough, I usually see more dirt bikes out there than anything else
The glitchy camera tho
Instead of this Quad saying Kawasaki on it, It should say Kymco as that's whom makes it (In Taiwan) for Kawasaki
Yup, same with the Artic Cat and Tracker Off Road versions. Solid little units in my opinion.
@@ThomperBeThompin very solid company, I have a 2012 Kymco 300 scooter I`ve put over 20,000 miles on it and its been nothing but awesome, ZERO issues.
I drove an hour and a half to buy this and thank god I test drove it at the dealer because it is a pathetic little bitch. Even on flat pavement at like 20mph it was whining like it was a 50cc topped out
Why did you test drive it in low gear?
