Hi Everyone,
Just bought my first Sport quad . I have had many Utility Quads in the past but upon reviewing the current makes and models and upon my OPINION (may not be yours) the best quad i could Purchase for sport riding on mainly trails was a KTM Powered Polaris Outlaw 525 IRS. I mainly ride in trails and a few open fields . In Southern Missouri we have St. joe State Park . Its 3500 acres of excruciating trails/hill climbs and also has about 1000 acres of sand flats . I have Ridden Dirt Bikes here for years and broke my Ankle last fall and Figured i might be Safer (Never Fully safe) but safER on 4 wheels than 2. I love this quad it has plenty of power right out of the Box and as far as a powerplant IMO its the Best bang for the buck coming equipped with Fox Shocks. I purchased it 2 weeks ago from a dealer in illinois . I have been searching for one for several years that i felt comfortable dropping the cash on. I bought a 2008 Outlaw 525 IRS . I looked up the title for this bike and it was owned by a 65 year old man before the dealer had it. it doesnt have an hour-meter on it but everyone of my friends comment on how clean this looks it had no dirt anywhere... everything was oiled Properly had plenty of grease on each a-arm nipple . Just a bike that looked Showroom New. Still had the Side Nipples on the Stock Tires . I cant say enough what an awesome purchase this was and im completely satisfied with the $3,250.00 I paid for it. with all that said Hello To all and thanks for letting me tell my story!

Thanks Guys Hopefully nothing pops up I didnt know about... I am Fearing the Worst as other Bikes ive seen in this condition are going for 42-4600$ range. So im a Bit Skeptical but i couldnt find or hear anything that bothered me and I already installed a Pig-tail on the battery for a Battery-tender . I did replace a few of the Front A-arm bushing just from the Plastic Dry-Rot... Thats what lead me to believe its never been off-road...But none-the-less 25$ plastic bushing kit and 20 minutes of my time wasn't bad at all..
