So I have the chance at buying a Quadzilla, and wanted to know your opinions.
I believe it's a 1990; I do know it has the extra head stud. Motor just got back from a top end rebuild, not even an hour on it. Starts pretty easily. It's been used, but the frame is straight. Plastic is average. Headlight 'cage' is slightly bent. The guy who owns it now is a good friend of mine and has had the 'wheeler for about 6-7 years now, hardly rides it. Last time I rode it was probably 5 years or more ago in Wayne National Forest; I had a new 400ex at the time (loved it). I remember it had a TON of power and spun 22" tires like they were on butter.
Been wanting another wheeler for a while now. No hesitations about buying an older one. I really like trx250r's, but clean 88-89 ones are hard to find around here. I don't race; just trails, open fields, and having fun. I know the 'zuki's had some issues here and there, but it would be fun to have an icon like that.
He wants $3000+/- for it; I think he bought it for slightly more. He also owes me $1500 more for a cnc mill, manual mill, and lathe we bought together and keep in his barn. (He's still a machinist and I'm now in cutting tool sales) I was thinking of telling him to keep his money and I'll throw in an extra $1000 or so for the wheeler.
Opinions?? Thanks!
