I have just joined this forum. I am looking to buy my first bike at age 50. I am looking at a small financial commitment so I am looking to buy a 1994 Polaris Magnum 425 from an acquaintence. My problem is when I go online to search for info on this bike, the first available Magnum 425 seems to be a 1995. Can anybody out there help me?

 

Are you sure its not a 95?

 

I am going to request the VIN from the seller and try to confirm. I was trying to find out the specs on this ATV. I am looking to use the Magnum to tow jet skis to and from a lake with a concrete landing, about a 45 degree incline. The jet skis will not weigh more than 800 lbs. Will the Magnum handle this?

 

Here is the specs for a smaller 325 2wd Magnum and its rated at 850lb towing.

We all know they tow and carry more then there rating states .

 

Thanks for the answer! Are there any known issues with this bike? Do you have any idea what a fair market value would be for it. It has 1750 miles.

 

i am guessing it would have to be an 95' since that was the first year by the looks.

 

I'm no expert but I'd say $800 - $1,000 would be a killer deal considering the low mileage and about $2,000 is the max I would pay for it. JMHO

 

Thanks for the responses! Any known issues with the bike or buyer bewares? I will be going to look at it tomorrow or Friday.

 

Could see if any info here might help .
