there are two atvs in the classifieds which are the same class

one is the 86 honda 250 utility and the other is the 84 suzuki 250 utility and to me these are both prettymuch the same condition and is one better than the other? also do any have any major problems assorted with them?

i would just be using them for trail riding so any onfo on eather of them woould be appreciated
thanx in advance

i would say the honda because its shaft drive (i think) and also my friend had a suzuki 84 250 utility and it was chain drive , 1 inch of travel in the front and a solid rear !(no suspension). We beat the pi$$ out of it and it USAULLY survived it had tranny problems towards the end but i think it was because i pushed it down the road in 4th with my recon and then he would slam it into reverse and smoke the tires ! anyway i KNOW the suzuki is reliable and the honda should be BULLET PROOF . if i were you id get the honda .

 

From what I have seen they should both be reliable machines if cared for, but I would go with the Honda because they seemed to ride and handle a little better than the old Suzukis from my experinces

 

the honda is a better choice. one will run with a honda 300 just bout everywhere. its shaft drive too.

 

Actually the 250 honda shares the same engine casing as the 300 Honda except the 300 has a bigger bore. It also has the same frame except it has a different front end design. They are very reliable. My friend had one that was put through it.

 

thanks i will probably go get the honda then and maybe make it into a 300 also i like the fact that the honda has front and rear suspension
thanx

well i called the guy again and tomorrow i take a 3 hour drive to see it and i will probably end up buying it

its only for $1650 canadian dollers so i could probably get it for aroung 1500

 

UPDATE:

I NOW OWN A TRX 250 IT IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE NEEDS A BIT OF TLC PLASTIC AND BRAKES
