My Buddy is looking into getting an atv after I got one. He isn't going to ride a lot but does have experience with riding. I know you can find okay bikes on Craigslist for good prices. What bikes can you usually find for under $1500? I know this is really cheap but hey I'm looking for a good deal for him. Thanks...

 

Yamaha blasters are pretty cheap
Yz 125 on craigslist are cheap
Polaris trail boss and trail blazer are pretty cheap too

 

Honda Recons in my area often sell for around that much. Friend's son bought one. He rode it, my son rode it, friend's sons' friends rode it, younger brothers rode it. None of this was gentle riding either. Held up very well considering.
