I still have a 88 honda 300 2wd, Dad bought her new when I was like 10. Now my wife rides it now, does'nt even smoke!! My buddy just bought a 350 foreman 4x4 off a guy, what a tank! I beleive he said it is a 1990ish, the front axle is unreal on that thing! It still runs needs a fuel pump is all, yeah that floored me, it had an electric fuel pump! pretty cool!

I sold my 89 moto 4 200 2x4 to the kid next door. He rides it all the time and tells me it still runs great.

in addition to the newbie, got a 1985 polaris trail boss 350L 4x4....Originally bought in 2002 as a makeshift utility vehicle. must agree, hauls like a beast, smooth ride, and materials are superb.....still ride it as it is 20 years old and want to keep it running more.....

1986 Honda TRX250 Fourtrax. After all we've put it through, one word: BULLETPROOF.
Same here, great bike. Bought mine off the original owner about four or five years ago. No smoke , runs strong, plastics in decent shape for 20 years old, lol- one fender does have crack stitched up with zip ties but that only adds a little character! That little bike has hauled myself (220#), and my brother in law (250#), while dragging a deer (160#) and we crossed streams and stone walls...it didn't like it, but it didn't complain neither. Nope, it don't owe me a nickel....

I have a 95 Kodiak that I was given last year... it was somewhat beaten on and neglected. Runs fine, but looks not so great.

I use it to plow my drive (got plow kit less than 1/2 price as it was sitting in dealers warehouse since 95) to drive to my hunting area (across road).

I'm planning to coat the plastic with camo tape or camo clad (its currently a sun faded yellow) unless others have had good success with repainting. Also, the racks need to come off to be sanded and repainted.

Also, I need wheels as the current wheels are pretty dented up.. Anyone have some?

Up until a year or so ago I still had my first quad. The YFM Moto4 Yamaha. It was the 225 (so it was a YFM225ER me thinks) had dual racks and about 2" front/rear suspension travel. It was a mid 80's model 85 or 86 I think. That was a great 4-wheeler, never a minutes trouble until the end, the clutch pack began to slip a little, but if left in Low Range it was fine.

More power.... no I don't think so, but I don't think I've ridden a ATV that was geared lower. That YFM and my '92 Timberwolf were such good machines. I have to say that Yamaha's have treated me right. Thus my wife rides a Yamaha Bruin 250. Basically my 'wolf with new plastics, better lighting, and disk front brakes.
We had the same moto4 when I was a kid!!! Great wheeler but we used it like a sport quad not a utility. Man it beat the $hit out of you. When you jumped the thing it felt like you were jumping a tank. One time I was on a berm at night and tried to slide the rear end out on what I thought was mud at top of berm (it was rocks). Well I was trying to slide to turn right and the right handle grip just pulled off and since I was on a berm I fell right off and landed at bottom of hill. As I started sitting back up for a second I thought the cops were coming because I saw flashing lights in front of me. About the time I realized they were white lights I also realized it was my wheeler rolling down the hill. No chance to move. That rear rack smashed me right in the head. Luckily my head was next to a rock that was bigger than my head so all it did was smack me back down. Still hurt getting smacked in the head and having a wheeler of that weight laying on top of you, but at least it didn't squash my brains out. Wear your helmet is the moral I guess.
