87 Cyclone not sure how many miles because no speedo, but the only major work was piston rings because the oil pump went out[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

 

One of two things. You are retired or have WAY TOO much spare time. LOL

No I am not!!!!!!!!!!!.....Just have two(Sportsmans) so I don't need to explain to the wife I going 4- wheelin' this week-end. We do alot of traveling on each week-end and put around 200 miles on between Sat/Sun.
Also went on a few ATV Rallies...Great fun!!!!.....Plus we can leave right from our house and go for the a whole day of riding here!!!!......It don't take long to rack up the miles if a person uses them!!!!...Caper ...
I am only 35 years old ......NOT IN THE ROCKIN' CHAIR YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I didn't mean that old was bad. I'm glad you have the time to enjoy the outdoors together with your wife.
My last trip I had on the trails of Arizona I ran into a 5 folks on ATV. The yougest was 67 and the oldest was the leader of the pack at 80 years old.
I joined them for about an hour and stopped to chat. Seems they have riding motorcycles and ATV's in the area since the 1950's. Cool group and I learned a lot about the local history from them.

Have fun

96 sp 400 runs like a champ.

 

My buddy has a 1996 or 97 sportsman 500 with over 12,000 miles, thats right 12,000. Still the original engine and everything. We just put new tires on it this fall for winter. His family uses it in the soft plowed dirt of their farm fields 99% of the time, but I got him out on a few rides with us this winter. Went everywhere our new 800s went, just not as fast. My 2002 sp 700 has over 4000 miles, my 2004.5 500 has 1300 miles and my 2006 sp 800 has 800 miles. My 1992 trailboss 350L 2x4 had 2000 miles when we sold it in 1997. No problems.

 

Well mine's about 3 months old with about 300 miles. I think I better get a new one. Maybe a Honda. . . . . . . Nope I'll keep this one for a little longer I guess

 

Got a '91 350L 2x4. It's getting new tires and a camo job done right now.Only 1,600 miles though. The speedo stopped working last summer. So maybe 1,800 miles on it now. She's my baby.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I've got a 95 Polaris 425 Magnum. It's in really nice shape. I'm the third owner I think but basically just the second. It was always garaged and it looks almost new. Has something like 1500 or 1700 miles on it I think. Most plowing and putt putt stuff from the previous owner. I've been working over into a farm machine. Adding things to make it useful around the place. I use it every day.

I normally wouldn't have bought it, but it was cheap and came with a plow and was in wonderful shape. The chain drive thing I'm not real big on. It has held up well so far though despite the flogging I've given it on the trails, plowing, hauling stuff and pulling trailers. This is the first polaris I've lived with on a long term basis. I've had to put a little money in it but I think it was more due to age than anything. It's just an interim machine until I decide on a new big bore machine and to give me something to ride while I'm restoring my old Honda 300 4x4.

 

My brother still runs a '95 Polaris Magnun 425 that I had bought brand new and it still runs top-notch! GREAT, simple, basic ATV that you just can't kill.

12 years old and going strong![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
