how come a raptor 90, eton 90, or any other "kid quad" is about 2500 new, but you can go buy a used 400ex for under 2000 bucks which has like 5 times the power, shocks, everything..?

I got mine for $1300, my friend sold his for $900, you just gotta know people. I get deals all the time, take today for instance: I got a running gs1100 for $250 and an old john deere 110 in good shape with a deck, just needs a carb for $125. I picked up THREE suzuki gsx600's about 2 months ago for $600 and I got a full fresh running CT built 440 motor and frame for $2000.00, the motor had $2400 worth of work into it alone AND the frame came with a title! Oh yea, I picked up a yamaha xs650 last summer for $25 and ended up making $900 off te parts. Anyone need a running S10 with a title? I can get one for $100.00
