I was 2 hours outside of Panama City for the first week of Jan. The resort was about amazing. 9 Restaurants. 10 Bars. 4 Pools and the Ocean. Temp on average was about 40'C no rain.
I could not help myself I had to leave the wife at the resort and head out to find some 2 Stroke Power. The resort offered ATV tours. So myself and couple guys rented some ATV's.

AMAZING countryside. Our Tour guide did not speak english but understood that we all had a need for some speed. After racing through the trails for a couple of hours he took over to General Noriega's old landing strip. The machine were stock but were still able to get upto 80km/hour.
Here are some Pics for for all you.

looks good...although you were riding 4-stroke power..lol..very few four-wheelers use 2-stroke any more...you got a Polaris Trail Blazer...and a Yamaha Banshee thats all that I can think of off the top of my head for 2-stroke 4-wheelers....was that one ATV the new Honda Rincon 650??

Two stroke, Four Stroke I had to ride some thing with Power. I don't know ATV's that well. So they probably are 4 stroke(my mistake)
They were all Honda's. They were all Semi Auto's. One was a 2 wheel drive the others were 4 wheel drive.
I must say the standard's in Panama are very different. The tires were bald and the brakes did not work well. Used the engine quite often to slow down because the brakes would fail.
No complaints though it was a blast.
