Just wondering if anyone has an atv that has lots of miles or hours on it and has served you well?Courious to see which one is the tuffest.No exaggerated tales that keep growing.Thanks

 

The oldest atv in our group is an old honda big red trike.I can't tell you mileage or hours because it has no guages but I believe it is a 1982 model.It still looks and runs decent but it is no longer used to haul or drag heavy loads anymore.

 

My neighbor still runs his older big red; which has taken many years of youthful abuse and is no worse for what it's been subject to.

Our blue and white, Fourtrax 300 4X4 has always started instantly and has seen nothing but annual oil changes. I've heard this 300 class machine described as 'bulletproof' and it has never given me reason to doubt that.

the oldest quads in our group are both hondas. my 1987 250 fourtrax, and my buddies 1985 250 fourtrax, which he bought brand new. both of them still start right up and run good.

 

My Yamaha 89 moto 4 200. Took any thing that was thrown at it. I will bet it had thousands of miles on it .Had it for 12 years before trading it in for the raptor. I hope the raptor lasts as long as the moto 4.

 

My 1990 blaster went 10 years with out a topend. I ran it at 20:1 the whole time. When i finally redid the topend(not becase it blewup just becuase i thought i could have more power)it had a crap load of carbon on tht top of the piston, but the cylinder looked great. BTW i beat on it pretty hard too.

 

Inlaws have a 1980 or 81? Suzuki 175 4 wheeler. it only has 3000 very hard miles on it. It has had more kids ride it than Michael Jackson. Kept garaged and clean. Looks and runs great today. After setting in unheated garage from Sept to June by West Yellowstone, it always starts second or third pull. Those ballon tir\res make for a great suspension. They also have a very clean low mileage Fat Cat and now ride a 2000 Traxter.

 

Ride with someone that has a 96 foreman 400 that turned 1000 hours and 5000 miles last summer. Thats a 5mph average btw we didn't nickname him slowpoke for nothin! Other than the usuall he broke one of the front shocks. I think he got his monies worth.

 

I got a 83 Suzuki LT125 the first quad ever, still starts first pull. Gets ridden most every day by the wife to go feed the hay burners and stuff. No suspension, no front brakes never had them, split rims just put the 4th set of new tires on it. It shows 4000 miles but I believe it is on the 2nd or 3rd time around, so 14000 or 24000 miles. Does it matter at this point? It's almost an antique.

 

friend has an old moto4 off a farm. it has big ole oversize tires on the back and a 2" trailer hitch sticking out like a wheelie bar! but it still goes! have a video, will try and make a pic. by the way, if you do vids, do NOT buy pinnacle! what service you get will anger you.
