i just made this cause i havent made a thread in a while and im looking to burn some to reach that 1k,......... but really out of all the machines that youve owned and gotten rid of either due to plain selling or trading off, that you had the chance to get back what would they be?

i got 4

new 04 Banshee, i owned for 2 weeks then got stolen and totaled...
polaris magnum 325, my brother bought/sold from/to a friend and its the only polaris weve owned...
03 foreman 450, biggest ute weve had...
wolverine 350, not a big fan of the new ones...

'88 250R - It would be worth twice as much today as what I sold it for.

DR 650 dual sport - Nice bike that I had very little money in. Sold it because I was getting married and needed a lawn mower and weed eater. Would love to have it back.

'91 Nissan extended cab 4X4 pickup - My first new vehicle. Nice truck but this one is mostly for nostalgia.


*machine I wish I had never owned*
Eagle Talon. Biggest crap sandwich I ever owned.

I wish we hadn't got rid of my dad's old '98 banshee. It was all done up for MX... I loved that thing.

And the old Big Bear 400 he had.. 28" outlaws, lifted, snorkel... the whole 9 yds.

And I kinda wish I still had my old XR50 sometimes....

actually, come to think of it i wouldnt mind the 07 white 450er my brother had for a few months last year, he got rid of it because he liked my old 04 better but wouldnt a trade been more sufficient :D

Had an 89 CR250. Constanly working on it, but wish I still had it. Third time I blew it up, I parted it out and lost all my money.

Wish I still had my 84 K10 Chevrolet. I worked on it most of the time, but that was my first truck. Had a LOT of good memories about that truck, and bench seat. Spent many nights buried off in some hole, but that was the toughest truck I ever owned... Until my stupidity lead to it rolling down a hill and bending the frame.

01 426ex: I love my 450 a lot more than it, except that I could ride the 400 without working on it all the time. Ever since I started racing, seems like my wheeler always needs some kind of attention before I can go tear off on it.



I'm pretty bad about holding on to everything. I rarely sell something because I always seem to miss it when its gone.

my dads old snowmobile
the thing was a monster

i was 5 years old and i could wheelie with it for 100+ ft

my LTZ400...traded it for a UTE(biggest mistake i ever made :rolleyes: ) , if i still had my Z it would be set up as an old yoshimara/team suzuki replica...just cuz i love the look of a MX LTZ lol



and my 1986 trx70...i used to beat the snot outta that thing and it kept kickin...unlike my XR50 that needs swingarm bearing constintly..

sorry about my spelling lol.

the 89 250r gncc monster i scored from Barry Hawk. i paid 5500$ but it had about 25000$ into it. i think i was brain dead at that time when i sold it. i know it would of ate up my 06 450er that is stroked out to a 470cc.

87 250x, 86 250r trike *MINT*, xr100, cr80, tri zinger 250, rt180 and a old dt175 I kick my self in the *** for selling it because it was so damn clean.. Out of all of them I'd love to have my first race quad which was a lil lt80 that was a 105cc.. I think I miss it the most! I use try and climb the hills at treverton with it, raced xc and mx on it, trail rode it every other weekend and beat it all week long after school! My nieghbors called it the pissed off chain saw.. I'd have to get a new top end twice a season cause I'd blow a head gasket like no tomorrow runnin wfo.. You mini guys got it easy nowadays! lol :devil:

lol i wish i had mine just to dick around on. its the whoop bouncer you hit whoops fast enough an you bounce off them. Then the unforgetable squeak. They could wheelie so easy too. So light and no clutch work and theres even a hand brake for the back. Cat walk it all day lol I would never trade my 400ex for one but I would trade my yamaha timberwolf for another.

I wish I could have my Banshee the way it was before it was stolen. Got it back but it's a complete POS now and I don't have the time or patience to get it back to normal.
I wouldn't mind getting my 400EX back before it was stolen either. I love my YFZ but I was way more comfortable on the 400EX and I had a blast on it.

My 02 400ex, had an Arens frame and elka and houser suspension, along with a JE 416 kit (first atv). Definitely a sweet trail machine, sold it for the 450 craze! Probably slow by today's standards but would have made a bulletproof practice quad!:(

1 - 2002 LSR/Elka Cannondale - Sold in 03?

2 - 2004 JB/Elka Honda 450r - The Blue one, QOTM April 2006

3 - 2006 JRD/PEP yfz450 - Sold summer of 2007
