Default 1987 Kawasaki Bayou 185 or Yamaha Moto4?

Looking to get a very inexpensive ATV for my wife to learn on and also for yard use. For about the same price (under $500) I have found a 87 Bayou 185 2wd and a 1987-89 (not sure) Moto4, also not sure if its 2 or 4wd. I haven't seen either in person yet, but would like opinions on both ATVs and also what specific things should I be checking out on either machine when I go see them?

Thanks for any input you can provide

iv owned both of theses machines from new but the bayou 185 had more miles on it, the only problem i had with the bayou was the feul pump wouldnt work once because of a week battery go figure, sold it to my nefu because it ran fine and he liked it the best my favorite also. Still have the moto4 250 tis a good machine also had to replace the starter clutch in it,it still runs fine.doesnt start as good as the bayou mine didnt any way the yamaha has nicer suspension poorer breakes both are good machines imo.
