Who has the nicest Big Red on here? What are some of the mods that have been done? What is the price you would sell it for if you did? What did you give for it? How much do you have in it? Just a poll [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Mine is an 86. I am the third owner. I gave 700. I have owned it for a year. It has a new start switch and dash about $60.00 from ebay. The seat was recovered for 40.00. I would take maybe 1200 if I wanted to sell it (I don't). It is the most reliable ATV I have ever owned.

 

Mine's an 85, i paid $600 for it this summer. I currently have around $640 invested in it. The whole shaft drive has been replaced, as long as all new rear bearings and seals. Brand new rear plastic and new seat cover. I'm gonna have to replace the gas tank, the front fork boots, and front bearings. I went and screwed up the frickin front fender so thats another thing i'm gonna have to buy (stupid tree [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]) lol. Oh yeah, almost forgot, i just bought a new set of turf tamers for it and haven't got to put them on it yet so i've got about $800 in it now. Once i'm done i might let it go for about $1200. Also, those pics in my profile are pretty out of date, thats what it looked like when i had only replaced the plastic. I'd like to hear about more readers big reds and what all has been done to them.

 

I have 2 85 that my famly bought new and has never sold. 1 is 100% stock all the way down the tires and grips!!! the other 1 is 95% stock......new tires never had any problems with is at all. things pull like hell we pull a 25 ft boat with it (couple 50lb weights in the front lol) We would never sell these things but just for an answer me dad prolly wouldn't take anything under a grand.

 

my friend dave also has an 85 big red that is a total piece of s&*$!!!!

 

I have an 85 big red and its the nasty fu*kin thing ive ever riden. I beat the sh*t out of it and i just started today to tare it all down and repaint everything and get new plastics and i already got new tires for it(mad meaty!!!!) that there big red is the funnest wheelie machine ever.. i can go from 1 throw 5 no problem. after im done redoin everything i wouldnt let it go for less than 1300

 

ok i admit its not bad

 

I have an 84 200ES....... Cobra Exhaust and Fatty tires. It was bought in 88 for 1300........ with the slight mods. I would ask 1800 now. The bike is a workhorse. worth its weight in gold

 

I have a 84 Big Red 200 es. It's in PERFECT mechanical shape and the only problems it has is the tank decals have a few chips out of it.
I also have a 85 250es that is MINT. I just bought it Friday, the guy (older man) bought it new in 85' in Utah and he said he rode it around 20 - 30 hrs. over the last 20 yrs. I believe him, Its beautiful and runs as good as it looks.
