Why? It is a very small engine and won't do much with an adult on it. Save your money and get something bigger at least a 250 for an adult.

What age is the rider? A 125 is big enough for a kid but not nearly enough for an adult.

No. This is a small and not very fast quad. If it is that old and that beat up, it will have a ton of problems. Don't but it.

I hate it when someone comes to the forum and makes one post then disappears. Hopefully the OP is still hanging around and will post back here.
