whats a decent used 4 wheeler under 1500

[beefcake]

looking for something for when at the dragstrip

i have 0 experience on these things,

all kinds of them on craigslist
polaris 325
yamaha warrior
timberwolf 250

it can't be too crazy big, wanting something mid sized i'd guess

[Whyucryn]

Get a Honda. And something without a clutch and nothing with a drive belt. Trust me... You'll thank me later

[dsmawd350]

honda recon i had one was great

[Dtony]

I had a Suzuki Ozark 250 for my pit bike. Used it for about 5 years with no issues. It can pull the car if needed too. You should be able to score one for $1500 ~ 2000.

[m347]

A gas golf cart is nice to have at the track. Money well spent and a lot more room than a 4 wheeler.

[sean]

I would go with the gas cart too. If you have the room.

[beefcake]

i don't have the room i think

26 footer

i'm thinking put the 4 wheeler in, and then pull it sideways

[m347]

I have a golf cart, a Plymouth Duster, and a 150 inch wheelbase jr dragster in a 24 foot trailer. No cabinets but only 23' and 9" of foor space.

[331lx]

Honda for sure, shaft driven

[Adam@S&MMotorsports]

Polaris RZR XP-900:bigthumb They are way more fun than a 4 wheeler or golf cart. I do have a KFX 700 for sale if you are interested.

[700hp04mystic]

grab you a 300 ex or even a 400 u can find then for that price with no problems. Honda for sure. just my 2

Put it in the back of your truck....:cool2:

[Camaro86SHOCKER]

i have a Yamaha timberwolf 250. had it since new in 94. Great quad!!! Most reliable one I have ever owned. IN all these years all ive replaced is tires and an ignition coil.

[1byafender]

Honda recon u can't beat them for the money

[1_slo_92]

I would deff go with an automatic clutch . I owned a kawasaki bayou 250 for a few years, beat the dog snot out of it on a daily basis with no major troubles.

[2Fast4You]

Honda Recon for sure, long lasting and dependable. Great value for the money.

I loved my KFX 700. :bigthumb

I'm a 2stroke guy to, just ain't for work use. Quadzilla????? Na cr500 dirtbike motor in a blaster frame lol

[Jeff88coupe]

I've had a used honda recon 200 for the last 2 years. Has worked well for me..pulls my car when needed just fine. I fit it sideways in front of my car in my 24' trailer. I'd like to upgrade to a gas golf cart this year...easier to haul 3 people around on...just not sure if I can find one short enough to fit in my trailer with the car.

[bangingears]

i would just go buy a new honda 420 fuel injected 2wd deal for $3500 bucks and be done.....wont have to touch it, and you will get your money back when time to sell it

[coleary1992]

Quadzilla motor in a lt250r frame. I'd say go honda, one of the most reliable and usaully wins the 4x4 atv shootout in most of the magazines.

[SN95N/A]

Quadzilla motor in 250 frame..I got a quadzilla 500 and in its reg frame hauls ass why would anyone put it in a 250 frame? And thats suzuki btw

[SN95N/A]

So this is a legit question
Just out of curiousity why is everyone stuck on hondas? Ive raced quads for 5 years now I have a suzuki 400 stroked to a 493 on methenol with a wheelie bar I leave around 11g everytime on a stock clutch with no issues,I also have a suzuki quadzilla that I race both bikes have been great.I know he's not looking for a race quad just something to ride.was just curious to why its just hondas.suzuki and yamaha make good bikes just my 2 cents.thanks

[m347]

Most are a little under 8 feet long as long as you do not have a rear seat or at least no foot rest.

[1_slo_92]

I Run a 03 Kawasaki kfx 400 and a 2005 ltz 400, other than maintanence and what I want to upgrade I have no complaints. Reliable and fun to beat the dog snot out of. I like any atv as long as its not a Chinese pos, I have one of those too for my son to learn on and im constantly adjusting the carb and messing with it, but I want to make sure hes serious about riding before I drop 2k plus on a name brand

He's asking about stock $1500 reliable quad to ride around the pits at the track. Wtf are you guys talking about motor swaps and john force funny car quads and shit?

[SN95N/A]

I know that why I said in that paragraph that I know he isnt looking for a race quad! I asked a legit question to why everyone said honda was legit no john force shit here.I was saying how reliable my suzuki was. Thanks for reading or not reading I guess lol it deff says I know he jus looking for summin to ride around.

[Walter]

Cause honda makes good products.

[SN95N/A]

So does alot of other makes.just curious never owned one was speaking of personal experiance on what I wrote.

[Gene]

Honda Recon. They're small, but more than adequate power for running around the pits. They're also basically indestructible, and you're more likely to find one that hasn't been beat to death in the woods than with the bigger quads.

The Kawasaki Bayou is nice too, but you can't beat the build quality on the Hondas.

[Walter]

Asking why people like Honda is like asking why the sky is blue.

[SN95N/A]

Good answer bahaha thats like saying fords the best just cause

A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

i would just go buy a new honda 420 fuel injected 2wd deal for $3500 bucks and be done.....wont have to touch it, and you will get your money back when time to sell it
Went back and saw chuck, a demo 420 was around 5k in a 4wd, the 2wd was still over 4I

I looked at the 250 Honda manual button shift, they were 3500, he had a 300, a new model, I think it was a kawa, but he said its made in Taiwan or somewhere and was a little concerned about longevity, it was full auto and 3500 as well

[akagreg3]

those Taiwan stuff are all junk, mizz well get a golf cart

Beechmont doesn't sell new Kawasakis, they're Honda and Yamaha.

Whatever you buy, get one from the Big Four (Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki or Yamaha) or Polaris. Any of those and you'll be fine. Don't get one of the off-brand Taiwan or Chinese imports. No parts network, questionable (at best) reliability and horrible build quality.

Then it was a yamaha, but chuck said it is built in taiwan. It's a new model for them this year.

just looked it up, its a grizzly 300

If it's from Yamaha, I wouldn't be too concerned about the build quality. Honda's been building a ton of their lower cost bikes in Taiwan and SE Asia for decades.

If nothing else, and quality issues would be sorted out with the warranty in the first year you own it.

i drove it a few times today, chuck dropped it off, its a 300 with a cvt trans, has a high and low gear ratio as well

non FI though, so you have to mess with the choke, this is how these things end up

i watched a review on the 300, and they made note of the fact that the engine didn't say "yamaha" anywhere on it

he's got some 420 ranchers, that are around 5100, 4wd, fuel injected, etc..

if i'm buying something new, it seems like 4wd would be good for resale, chuck said that market is pretty good for resale down the road as well with something like the 420....

[331lx]

Get a Honda beef and it will hold its value

[Brandon Alsept]

Get a honda and be done. And go with a 4 wheel drive :bigthumb

[motox159]

Honda or a Suzuki quadsport. Those last forever too. 230 Quadsport we beat on from 6th grade is still holding up...i'm 31 now.
