I was just wondering what U think is good and bad about your rides.I am going to list what I think about all of my families qauds.I will list the bad then the good.
my 250r=way to much money in it.other than that awesome handling power.I know when most of U guys think arm ripping power U think banshee.Well my 250r will pull the front tires exiting every corner and sit me way back on the seat.
87 LT500R=we have had it for sale swince last winter and no buyers.Perfect shape and banshee beater of the family.
97 300ex=Nothing really.Good woods qaud good handling and decent power to mess around with.
96 warrior=broke all the time.Don't know any good things everytime I have rode it.It broke.
90 blaster=blown up.(not by me).Got it cheap and it is great shape.
almost full race 250r
moded 87 lt500R

1987 LT 500 Quadzilla Good points: plenty fast enough,Its nice to have a classic looker. Bad Points: Too wide for the trails, and alot of retorquing after rides due to the vibrations. I have lost alot of bolts in my days of ridin. Now i just locktite everything.
1997 Yamaha Banshee Good points: Very fast, good trail rider. Bad Points: Rattling kick starter, weak frame and stock tires are not a good choice.,
1991 and 1987 Honda 250x Good Points: Great all around bike, Low maintenance. bad points: stock tires are terrible.
1995 TC 405ex MX racer Good points: one H$%l of a holeshot bike, great around corners. bad Points Like the LT500 it is a high maintenance bike. Always tightening something, race gas $8 a gallon.
2000 400ex Good Points Just like the 250x another low maintenance bike electric start for the people who can't kick start a bike. Bad points Tires got to go, and havent run into any other problems as of yet..
see link below for photos of these bikes

99 Blaster with 240 CT kit
Good points, easy to start, lots of mods around, lots of parts around, easy to ride in the woods, cheap price, easy maintence, good starter atv, light weight.
Bad points, brakes s..., crappy tires, small for larger riders(some)?, frame is small, no electric start(good and bad), no reverse.
Some of these things are preferences and not needed too but is a very good small quad for the money and is easy to hop up.

I have a Honda Recon with K&N Filter, Adjusted throttle cable, and 22x11x9 surtraks on the back.
Good Points= Low Center of gravity, easy to throw around, good hill climber, fairly sporty, good suspension for high speed stability, stable with a passanger and takes abuse and asks for more.
Bad points= bottoms out in mud, pulls wheelies when towing up hill with a trailer on back (actually, i like doing that, but others might not), and another most people don't think of is thats 22x10x9 tires are hard to find.
Those are my opinions. Just rained time to test out my tires

'87 Honda 200 trx sx
GOOD- Engine runs great and always starts on the first push of the starter, light weight to push or lift out of mud, will to wheelies if you push the gas fast and sit on the racks, great power.
BAD- Chain has always come loose after a ride, had an $800 tune up and repair(wasn't too happy with results), brakes never worked but now their ok, DOESN'T HAVE 4WD!!!.
