I missed that KILLER250R, good thinking. Went to his website and couldn't find out there if he has or hasn't. Links relating to quads and the ATV connection forum. I don't understand the Violent History stuff. Chet

 

i had the threee step program

first i had the 200 sx honda
second the almighty 250x honda
third the almightyy yammaha raptor

 

the first quad i ever rode was a trx300 2x4, i didnt say i owned it.
and my dad has a raptor!!! yes, i do ride it. but i think its too much for a 13 y/o.... its pretty big, i mean, i just the gas too fast and i fly off. and im getting a trx300.

 

fourtraxmike--

How did you make a homemade exhaust for the 200SX??...I'd like to see pics of your 200.

 

1985 Honda TRX125. 5 speed with reverse. That thing was awesome! Had 4 different kinds of tires, but it was fun. It would wheelie too! I wish i still had it.. I would shave the plastic, put some 8" wheels on it.. Turf Tamers... Get some radials for the front.. Build new A-Arms.. make it real trick looking. LOL From the 125, I went to a Polaris 300 2x4, to a SP500.. nice bikes, still love them! Now, well.. you know

 

First quad I rode was my friends '86 trx 125...his was the biggest piece of junk ever, it always broke, he replaced every gear on it different times, re-built engine 4 times, broke tie-rod ends, brakes never worked the cables would always seize up, throttle always stuck, his had no power ever...even after re-builds it could never wheelie I even tried my hardest. It looked and sounded like crap...worst quad ever built I think.

Sorry to say that lonestarbanshee...his was a complete oppisite of yours.

 

I started out with a 87' TRX125, then moved to riding my Dads 88' TRX300, bought my own 96' TRX300EX, then bought a 99' 400EX which I broke my back on then sold. Now I have a Cannondale FX400.

 

My first was a 86 Honda 125 4 wheeler. Then a 200sx Honda, then the 230 quadsport and now the 300ex. The most reliable is the 300ex, but I had the most fun on the quadsport cuz it was my first quad that had decent suspension and a manual clutch and kickstart.

 

A sweet 1982 ATC250R with the stock ballon tires! Then took about 10 years off of riding now own a '87 TRX310R. I wish I still had that old ATC it would be a collectors item now.
