Default Why so many YFZ's for sale?

I was just wondering why I see so many for sale. From what I read, everyone seems to like them a lot, but I see so many for sale. Some have thousands of $$$ into them, yet there selling them. Just at YFZ central on the 1st page in the for sale page there are 13 up for sale. My local want-ad has over 10 in there's. No other 04 sport quad in the adds even comes close. Ebay always seems to have a bunch. What do you think, did too many get caught up in the hype to get this atv, then find out it's too much for them. Are there more problems then what we read?

I agree with that. But why isn't that across the board. There were not many other 04 sport atv's for sale, but many YFZ's.

maybe they are people who are new to the sport and know just enough about cc's to know what size might fit them and when they read 450 they underestimate it and buy it cause they think it is a middle sized atv(it is rather small) When the time comes to ride it.they think it is too fast for them or w/e

It can also be because it has so much hype right now, people buy it cause its such a nice quad... Then they figure out its not the most comfortable thing to ride. Anyways, im going to get myself one [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Yep same here, if it were a nicer ride I would have bought one a few months back when I got my Raptor, I still want one but man I have too many right now. Well if I can get one for 4000.00 I will buy it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

cause they are built to be race specific

and are not comfortable to ride for pleasure

but it dont really matter if you are happy with what you have

my new riding bud keeps up with me just fine on his vinson
