Is this a good atv? I have been thinking of buying one, but here in Norway, Arctic Cat is not a well known brand.
So noone can tell me if this is a atv to buy or not.

 

I wouldn't spend a fortune on it. It will work, but there are much better ATV's that you could get. 97 wasn't the best year for that bike. Bad carburator problems mainly. For an 8 year old machine, you would be better off with a different brand. Arctic Cat today is leaps and bounds better than Arctic Cat in 1997. My cousin has a 98 model 454 (which has a few improvements over the 97), and its a decent bike, but I think you would probably be happier in the long run with something that is a little better put together.
