I've been riding atc/atv's since I was 7 when I got a Honda 70cc 3 wheeler. I still have a 1986 Honda 250R. Always searching for my '87 tecate 3-wheeler. I have friends and family that are into 4-wheelers. One or the other has bought the newest "fastest machine ever built" model 4-wheeler. Seems like every maufacturer claims in magazines or in their dealerships to be the most powerful or fastest ever. My cousin got a Banshee in like 96, a friend of his has a Raptor, I know a guy that has a 400ex. I have driven that Bombardier, banshees, polaris, etc... I have beat all of those myself, and have driven many others and I'm not impressed. My cousin even thinks his 5,000 pound Polaris 700 4x4 automatic would be faster than my 250R, because hey "IT'S A 700, YOURS IS ONLY A 250!" Of course whenever Ihave been around with my machine he can't race. I bought mine in 1990 for $800 for a guy who crashed his car and needed $, and as recently turned down $1200, why don't these new ones appreciate in value?
Any similar ones here???

 

i had a suzuki LT500R A.K.A. "Quadzilla" that would eat Yamaha Banshees' and shizz out Yamaha 80cc Moto-4's lol but my buddys were allways sayin how much faster their 250R's or Banshees were....that is untill they had a good taste of my exhaust and a mouthfull of dirt to wash it down with gotta love the classics
