Should I buy this quad? 370 Stroker

[blownaway]

Can anyone tell me anything about this quad by looking at it? He spent $2000.00 on the 370 Stroker motor and it looks clean. I am thinking about a trade for a truck that I have. What would it be worth? Could I transform it back into a Play/Trail Quad? How reliable is that motor? He runs 50/50 Race/Pump gas. Please help, I don't know much about dunes quads.

man that looks like a killer dune bike!

I'd say if you are looking for a play/trail quad, look for a trail quad cause you have a lot of parts to get to put it back. A 370 would not be best for trails either. But if it's a good price then I say go for it, you can always sell/trade parts.

[blownaway]

Do you think it is worth like 6,000.00 or more? What would the motor be worth?

[blownaway]

Would a 97 CR-250 motor bolt in?, ............O.K guess not..........

[blownaway]

Here is a motor pic,is it a power valve motor? Can you even see with the pipe in the way? I am thinking I could bolt on some dirt tires,shorter swingarm and fenders........Could be fun

[blownaway]

Would the A-arms and shocks work for off-road?

If you are going to be spending 6000 on that and then try to make it a trail quad why not just spend alot less on one that was already set up for the trails. Dont get me wrong though that is an awesome looking quad. I cant tell from the pictures if it is a powervalve or not. The cr motor would not be a good idea it would vibrate too much and the transmission is not heavy duty enough for a quad.

I'm not trying to be an *** here, but with a question like that, you really have no reason to be on a 6000$ 370 Stroker motor 250r full blown bike. At least do yourself some research.

[blownaway]

O.K don't make me justify my ability to own a performance quad, I am new to quads not new to performance machines. I understand It seems that I am asking dumb questions but the deal is that I have a lifted Chevy truck with a fuel injected LT-1 that I am trying to sell. Someone has to come to me with the quad shown above for trade and I wanted opinions from "you who know" as to the value and ability of the quad shown above. Opinions are more than welcome as long as they are productive.

You are thinking like I am.........:D

[Eddiesanders250]

Now why would you buy that quad for ridng trails? If you buy that bike it will go in dunes.......... You dont buy a 370 stroker dune bike then re do everything just to ride on trails. If you want to ride trails you buy a new bike.



That bike is clean, i couldnt imagine tearing everything apart.

[blownaway]

I might just get some dirt tires so I can play around and leave everything else. What is it honestly worth?$$$ I want to start to take the kids to the dunes and get them and the wife quads too. We are a dirtbike family in the process of converting.
I can always ride my CR in the woods.

[mikeminyard]

In other parts of the country I would say not worth $6,000. But I just bought an R from a friend for $5,500 that he had just dumped $14,000 into. I would say go for it. It will be a very fun ride. I doubt that it has a powervalve, but with that much displacement you won't really miss it. It will be very fun in the sand. As for riding it on the trail, definitely doable, but it won't perform nearly as well as one set up for the trails. It will still haul on the straight stretches though. I would get some new rear plastics at least though if you do ride it on trails.

[250r4life]

man, screw that bike- its not for you. its not going to be reliable and its far from what you want. its a sweet bike, i just wouldnt get it if i was you

[Eddiesanders250]

exactly, its a nice bike but not for you.

[quickid]

I hope youre not thinking about turning a prime dune bike into a trail rider. That 370 will kill you on the trail. Bikes just not for you man get something a little more "trail" worthy.

[blownaway]

O.K how does this sound... trx90 for my son, 250ex for my wife, The dune mobile for me, and then I can ride the 250ex with my son in the trails. If I want to go fast I will ride my CR. ....Now again, what Is that TRX worth? I would like to get $6,000 for my truck so I would like to trade for something of equal value.

[blb515]

its a nice bike but in todays market I would say 4500-5000 but thats just my opinion.

[Eddiesanders250]

id say its worth 6000 to 7000, around here anyway.

[robyone]

From what I can see, it's not a P.V. cylinder...you don't want a P.V. in the sand anyway. If your gonna leave it a duner, I'd tell the dude the quad and 1000.00 bucks if your truck is deffinitly worth 6g's
I deffinitly wouldn't ride that thing in the woods, that 370 has some arm yanking power (if tuned right). You wouldn't want to wrap it around a tree and get hurt.

[Mean250r]

yeh man that 370 is deff not a woods bike, just buy a decent trailrider, with the money u wuld save on that, put the extra towards it and mod it to what you like.

[blownaway]

I found out more,
1988 Honda TRX250R. 4 mil stroker crank, LRD pipe. Has Lone Star +2, +1 chrome a-arms, Lone Star +6 swing arm, PEPS shocks, chrome foot pegs, polished motor, chrome stem, lots more. Comes with brand new skat trak 10 paddle extreme haulers. and front Mohawks.

[Eddiesanders250]

are you thinking about riding that in woods? the engine is good but definately not the body. A +6 swinger wont work very well in tight woods riding, i suppose the a arms could work but if you are lookning to be riding in tight trails its not the bike, unless you wanna change that swinger.

[blownaway]

Thanks for the input, i am just sick of my truck and since he wants to trade I was considering it, A stock length swinger would be cheap. He might be able to get me fenders too. I still don't know for sure. Thanks for the input.
BTW I go to Bend all the time while visiting my inlaws house in Sisters.

[mikeminyard]

Some of the trails in Bend would be very tough to ride, it would really just take you going slow for a while getting used to the bike. As long as the rear axle is no bigger than +2 you should be good, but like Eddiesanders250 said the +6 swingarm will make it tough. You would really be able to get on it though in the straights there though. Sounds like you really want it, so I say get it. Just make sure the engine is in good shape.

[250r4life]

man, if you're positive you can sell your truck for 6k, then sell it and buy a different bike... this bike is not what you want. it is a dune dragger and thats it... in addition, i would always be hesitant about buying something that has tons of work done to it- especially a 370... i would be willing to bet you that thing isnt going to be too reliable. and, i personally dont think you could sell that for 6k... maybe if you found the right buyer, but i highly highly doubt it... most people that run a drag bike like to build them or have them built themselves. if i was wanting to have a drag bike, i would not buy somebody elses. i know it isnt the most economical choice, but i would buy something somewhat close to stock and do it all myself, so i knew what exaclty was done to it and i would know it was done right... that is just my 2 cents... i think that thing would be a pain to dune with- its just for drags... do what you want, its your money... what does it matter what we think... but when you end up putting a lot more money into it, and when it becomes an unreliable POS, just remember you were warned

it was said perfectly a long time ago...

on the bright side, if you do buy this bike, you will know plently about quads in no time- cuz you're gunna end up doing a lot of fixing/working on that bike :devil: it'll break you in in no time :D

What's wrong with a PV in the sand?
