Default What happens to old Pro-Used Quads?

I was just sitting here and got to thinking. What happens to all the quads after they are raced and the pros have beat the crap out of them? They dont use the same quad for long. After they are raced what happens to them? Do they just keep them and add them to a collection? Or are they sold somewhere, somehow? What about all the old quads that were once raced. All the old 250R's? Gone? Just was kinda curious. I wonder if anyone knows...

my best guess would be that they strip down the quad into parts and sell all of the ones that are still in good condition or usable. and if the pro is attached to the quad, they probably keep it in their garage are a memorobelia or w.e u kall it. just like skaters do with skateboards... they keep the ones that are special to them and sell the ones they dont need anymore. i guess thats wat happens, but we may never kno. ill tell u once i become a pro rider, haha, jp.

Really! I was wondering if that was possible. Thats interesting. I bet their not cheap! I guess they could part out the quads but it seems like the value would go down a whole lot... I wonder if, or where you could get those parts...

Yeah, skateboarders keep their boards but thats a lot more simple than a quad and a lot less expensive.

Besides what was already mentioned, some go on display in museam's or even the headquarter's for some manufacturers. Some probably get tore down for testing to. But I'd say most of them just gets sold.

what the.... you mean like the one in your photo page?

ctracing.com actually has a raptor for sale with only 2 hours on it and tons of mods too for about 7k. Not bad. Says it was used for a magazine test. I also found some laeger +2 A arms for $500. Thats not too bad either.

I think thats what I am going to do with my KDX here in the near future. I already have a kawasaki green room, kick daughter out, now the KDX just needs to be moved in as the art object. KDX will be much cheaper than the daughter, so art is good.

Hey, I figured while a moderator was here this could be a good question to ask.

Just a second ago I tried to open this thread from a link in an email and this poped up.

The page you were accessing requires a numeric value, you passed a string.
Error Code: 101

What does that mean? And what do some of the other error codes mean? Like 102. Ive tried to open a couple threads and that happened. Does error code 102 mean there has been a violating post or something?
