ANyone have one of these?

I was thinking of buying one. With all these new HUGE quads on the market would I be better off just to get one of these? Its 4x4 really small(smaller than some 4 wheelers) lightweight and street legal. Anyone have one? Is it worth fooling with? I want something to ride with my wife but i really don't want one of these big ATV's I mean they are 6000 bucks! I can get a good SAMURI for 3000 or less.

 

What kind of problems should I look for?

 

You are joking, right? If you want a used 4x truck for offroading, buy a Wrangler.

 

The Sammy can be built up to be a stout off road machine. There are tons of parts available for them, and they are dirt cheap. Get the one with the larger motor, so you can turn the larger lug tires. They sell tranfer case regearing kits, which you will need if you want it to be a serious off road machine. The standard transmissions are also more desired.

 

MBrooks 420 is right these things are becomming very popular on the trails, in the mud, and rock crawling. We go to the Badlands in Indiana almost every weekend, they allow 4x4 trucks and atv's in the mud and you see as many samuri's as Jeeps.

 

the wrangler is to wide and heavy for where i ride. THe Samuri is actually smaller than ALot of the new ATV's . I'm going to buy one that was ridden on the street and rebuild the motor. lift it a few inches and trash it. Then do it again.

We rolled my friends down a hill end over end. It broke a piece of trim and mashed the hood some. We let it sit a few minutes while we checked it out. IT fired right up and pulled itself out of the ravine. I was really impressed with this machine.

 

You must have some really big atv's in your neck of the woods.lol

 

They might be exaggerating just a little bit.

 

FTR - Suzuki Samuri =

135" long
60" wide
65 1/2" high
2,094 lbs.

 

You can do a world of work to a samurai. I don't know if they still sell them, but they used to sell fiberglass front clip extensions to drop in a V8. I believe a v6 will fit in the stock. Just food for thought. A buddy of mine just sold his. Stock 4banger had some work done to it, an Atlas transfer case and riding on 35's. It'd idle up a 60 degree incline or a tree for that matter.
