Default 05 KFX 700 vs 87 Warrior

hey guys i just need some help waying my options. I have the chance to buy an 05 kfx 700 and a mint 87 warrior. the 700 will be around 2 grand where the warrior i can pick up for 800. i test drove the 700 for a weekend and loved it. but idk if i should just pick up the warrior and ride that for the summer then next year go after something bigger. any thoughts or suggestions?

I,d have to say your going to get your $1200 worth out of the 2005 700. Plus you will not have to look for a bigger ATV and you already know the machine is a good one.
On the other hand a Mint shape Warrior 350 for $800 is a great deal and their super reliable in any year.

I know after work today Im going to see how the warrior drives. for that price i was thinking about just picking it up and having that this summer then next sommer when i have more money saved id look for something bigger. my only fear with the warrior is that i will reach its limits quick. the 700 was just a monster and had no limits.

Oh, the 700 has limits. They just aren't found in the drive straight ahead department. Still a great machine. What would really help is if we knew what your intended usage will be.

I went with the warrior it was just too good of a deal to pass up. i got it for 800 bucks and it was mint. It still had factory rims and tires and everything. it looks like the guy rode it for a few years then put it in a zip lock bag. I also almost bought a 87 250r but decided one quad was enough for this week. the 250r though sold at an auction for 650 but it had a few issues.
