Default Should I get it????

I've been lookin for a scrambler 400 2x4 for a while now, and I came across this 97 sport 400. What are you guys' opinions on the difference between the two? Is the sport a peppy quad like the scrambler. At what price would this be a good buy? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanceWhat do ya guys think?

I think it looks pretty nice.
Pricing I don't know I haven't been looking at used quads in a long time.
But the Quad it self looks nice.
It's got the same motor as my Xplorer and I love it.
Sports and fun and you can mod them to have crazy power.
I would go for it if the price is right.

What would be the right price? It'll be for my girlfriend, she's used to riding a 00 trailblazer so I think she'd really like the step-up. How much difference is there between the trailblazer and the sport? Thanks for the posts, keep em comin, I need info within a day or two.

If you could get it for around $1800 or less, it MIGHT be a decent buy. If it had a new top end done, it was probably ridden hard. I would look for a newer model from a private seller. The Sport is a good bike, I'd just look for a newer one.

The only thing that really bothers me about it is the .50 overbore without a cylinder girdle kit. That and the FMF pipe sucks for Polaris, but besides that, everything appears to be ok.

I don't agree with that Quadfather, a 97 would be due for a new top end if it had been ridden much at all, just wonder why he went with a .50 over??

So 2400 would be too much, huh. Yeah, a 50 over is quite much for possibly it's "first" rebuild. I don't know what to do. What I really want is a scrambler 400 2x4. Why do some 400 2x4's have the dual headlight on the bars and some have the single headlight like the trailblazer???
