i saw this cheap old suzuki Lt 185 it somewhere near 1987 dose anyone no how fast they r and r they a good machine for jumping and playing

 

dude, learn how to spell, and dont worry what anyone else thinks about a quad. find something that you can afford, buy it and ride it! the fun in jumping and playing comes when you enjoy what you are doing.

 

It's a hardtail so jumping ain't a lot of fun,

 

top speed's around 45 mph.
and like Qwerty said, not a good jumper.

 

thats wat i had b4 my ds, after i had rebuilt mine, it started like 1st pull every time, i had full racks and bearclaw back tires, went threw alot of mud for such a small machine,i think mine went about 65km/h, that thing would wheelie forever, jumpin? i did wit mine but it sure didn't like it, fun little play machine tho, if you want somethin for jumpin i'd say an old blaster or quadsport 230,

 

I have one that I mess around with... I have jumped it and it is actually pretty fun, and it goes over 45..... it at least goes 50.... Pretty fun in my opinion..... I might sell mine, had enough fun with it...

 

yeah, my old lt 125 started on the first pull every time! of course it was brand new when i owned it....
still, it was a fun ride back in the day.
if you can find a quadsport 230, go for it!
otherwise, get a k&n filter, pipe and cam if you can find them anymore and have a blast!

 

i had an 85 quadrunner. it went about 50-52mph. it has huge back tires, but no rear suspension. whenever i jumped, the back tires would always bounce alot. but it has a low gear which is very powerful and handy

 

The LT 185 was my first quad. Do I get misty eyed? No. It had no rear suspension, no front brakes, the gas tank was under the seat, big tires rubbed on the tank, the manual decompression was a PITA when riding through thick brush, and the miserable transmission failed. For some reason the price of these quads dont drop but they are only good for slow trail riding or chores around the farm.

 

I have a lt 185. It is awsome ya it dont have any rear suspension but it is still fun. we have bout 1300 dollars in to it and it blows wicked wheelies in 1st 2nd and 3rd gears. i can pull and standing wheelie for 250 yards.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] i havent really jumped it but if i go ova a big jump the rear bounces up in the air.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] I also have a Polaris 400 explorer. liquid cooled 2 stroke, and the lt 185 beats it. and the 400 maxes out at 58 (but i do have a lot of money into the 185) I can do so many tricks while riding wheelies. it starts well and its an awsome atv to just fool around with around the house or barn. o yah and its wicked fun in mud especially with the huge rear tires!
