Let see my first quad to learn on back in the day when I was 11 was a suzuki 1989 LT125 quadrunner auto clutch, no suspension, and could barely get up my back hill. Man I thought that thing ripped.

Beleive it or not, I have had offers for $1000. Ive seen them fetch as high as $4500 fully restored. Mine was appraised by a collector at $1000 to $1300 as is:eek: This Guy (http://www.geocities.com/minitrailfactory/) was one to offer $1000 and is standing second in line to buy it.

I have looked into restoring it, it would cost about $1500 in parts, paint and rechroming. Then add in my time, and time is money. By the time I finished it 'd be so attatched I wouldnt want to sell it.
Its comlpete and original now and runs good, which is why I havent done anything with it but let the kids ride it.

'74 XL125 Dual Purpose. Was my dad's, then my brother's. By the time it got to me I had to rebuild it to get it to run good. I was 9 when I got it, 10 when I got it running.

At 14 I got an 97 XR250, big step up. Then in 2002 I got a 2002 300ex. That is what I have now :)

Besides all the homemade contraptions, basically anything we could bolt a motor to, I had an 1972 Honda SL350 enduro. This was a 370 lb dirt bike. Trying to keep up with my friends on little 185 zuk's. Well it sure taught me how to ride in the dirt.

I had like a 1996 Red Fox 5hp Go Cart. Still have it. It only had brakes on the back, so you could max it out going down a hill (which was probably about 25) then lock up the brakes, ad slide sideways for about 50 ft. It was awesome for kitties too!!!

A 1970 Honda CT70 I got used in '72. Bulletproof! I beat the ever-livin' crap outta that poor thing. When I sold it, it still didn't burn any oil! First ATV was an '83 ATC185S I bought brand-assed new. Beat the crap outta it, too. Kept it for close to 10 years.I've had about 25 motorcycles and ATV's over the last 30 years, and Honda has never let me down. I have a Raptor for the sand dunes now, love the power, but I'll never trust it 100% like a Honda.

1969 atc 90, does that show my age? Since then I have had 42 different 3 or 4 wheelers to date. Still can't get away from ole trusty hondas whether production, built from scratch , or just one badazz prototype. Had a mint 1986 atc250r just 2 years ago and forgot how you truley had to ride them, quads are just to easy for the average Joe to get on and be good with little practice.
