The Kawasaki Lakota 300 is a 21 horsepower sport utility all-terrain vehicle(ATV) produced by Kawasaki Motors Corp from 1995 to 2004. It merged Kawasaki’s proven Bayou series engine with their sporty Mojave frame resulting in a well-rounded dual use four wheeler. A main selling point of the 458 LB Kawasaki Lakota 300 is it’s exceptional value at an affordable price. The Lakota 300 has a comfortable seat height of 30.6 inches.
The Kawasaki Lakota 300 was among the first ATVs to be given the sport utility designation when Kawasaki sought to give it the best of both worlds. Stock rear suspension travel was kept the same as Kawasaki’s utility line of ATVs however the rear swing-arm was lengthened for a more sporty performance.
I recommend it if you will be working on a Lakota ATV frequently.Dubbed as a ‘playful workhorse’ and with a frame taken from the Kawasaki Mojave 250 it’s not the fastest ATV but it’s no slouch. Kawasaki Lakota 300 top speed is 55mph in stock condition. Your mileage will vary depending on condition, altitude, your weight and performance modifications, if any, but 55mph is the overall consensus on how fast this model is stock.
No, production of the Kawasaki Lakota 300 ended in 2004. It began production in 1995 to fill a gap in the market, it was designed to bridge the divide between pure workhorse and pure sports model which was common at the time. It was a bold move by Kawasaki and it worked, for a time, at least until the rest of the industry caught up and offered similar models.
ATV values vary depending on condition, age, popularity and other factors.
That being said, the market for Kawasaki Lakota 300 ATVs suggests that a price range of between $600 US and $1600 US is common. My advice is to have a mechanic inspect your ATV before you buy and offer an amount accordingly. I also recommend you avoid purchasing any ATV unless it comes with the proper paperwork.

While the Lakota 300 was fun to ride it did suffer from some annoyances on the performance side. For example, tall riders found the distance between the seat and foot pegs to be too short. Others had trouble with the reverse starter. The rear rack was too close to the seat for other riders, and still others found the shift lever too short. All of those complaints aside, overall, the Lakota 300 was, and still is, a very enjoyable ride. Dual use ATVs like the Lakota 300 compromise on handling ability enough that if you are wanting a racer there are better options. Remember, the Lakota 300 is heavier than your average sports ATV of the same class.
Yes, Kawasaki made sure to retain all of the utility functionality in their Lakota 300 model and it handles light to moderate chores well. The Lakota 300 is officially a mid-sized SUV according to Kawasaki. Racks, gearing and tire size are very suitable for carrying loads and ground clearance is not an issue for yard work on the Lakota 300. Personally I enjoy tossing a fishing rod on the back and going down the winding path to the stream every once in a while. It’s short wheelbase makes cornering on tight trails a breeze.
Overall the Lakota 300 by Kawasaki is a reliable ATV when properly maintained, I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up another one if a good offer comes along. Parts are relatively cheap and available online still and the engine runs smoothly through all kinds of tough situations. If I was to compare it to another ATV I think the Yamaha Blaster is a close competitor. If you’ve owned a Blaster you already know how fun those are!

The prices, MSRPs, age recommendations, measurements and weights listed are based on industry averages comparing several different models in the some cc class.
The ATV speeds listed are the top speeds that these engines can potentially run. This is what I would consider the “aspirational” speed – like if your machine is in perfect working order, traveling down hill with a brisk wind at your back.
To get a more realistic view of the average ATV speeds you could expect in normal riding conditions subtract 2-7 MPH.
Generally speaking, the more cc – the bigger and heavier the bike.
However, across manufacturers and models there may be manufacturing differences and upgrades that may cause some vehicles to be heavier and/or lighter than a similar or even a smaller/larger ATV.
For example, a model that is labeled for “mud”, “hunting” or “touring” may have larger tires, heavy duty shocks, winches and upgraded components, all of which would make the ATV heavier.
The weights listed are an average of several different models in the same cc class.
ATV sizes from 50cc – 90cc are the smallest ATVs designed for use by children. Typically these ATVs will have built in safety features like engine limiters to control speed and power cut-off tether switches.

There are mixed opinions regarding ATV use by children. Some experts say children should never ride an ATV, while others use a more tempered approach focusing on training and adult supervision. Check out Is Your Child Ready For An ATV? for a more in depth look at this topic.
To see an ATV sizes chart specifically for children’s ATVs: ATV Sizes By Age: What Size Is Best For Ages 6 -16
50cc ATVATVs from 200cc – 270cc are for more mature riders in the 14 – 16 age range.
Mid-size ATVs are significantly larger, heavier and faster than the small ATVs, which also makes them potentially more dangerous for smaller riders.
Engines from 300 cc and up are for riders 16 and older, with typical adult models starting at 400 cc.
None of the major ATV manufactures currently have any 350cc in their lineup. There used to be several 350cc on the market, but these models have fallen out of favor. Buyers are now choosing to go to the 300cc or the 400cc.
200cc ATVATV sizes in the 500cc – 1,000cc range are strong, fast, capable workhorses that get you where you want to go.
These big beasts can be used for both fun and work. They can climb hills, tear through mud, conquer rough terrain, tow and plow.
Large ATVs offer excellent acceleration, power and speed. Plus, they can also carry heavier loads making them ideal for hunting and camping. These are the best ATV sizes for adults.

In addition to its practical design, the Grizzly 300 offers exceptional performance. Its automatic transmission and gearbox - with easy downshifting and upshifting - eliminates the need for clutches and traditional shifting, while the suspension keeps the ATV firmly on the ground.
Add to that a comfortable wide seat and handy tool carriers, and you have a machine that lets you focus on what's really important: the job at hand.
