Got an email from a friend of mine this morning...he's planning on buying a 1999 Wolverine for $5,000...he was asking me if it was a good bike and if it was a good price...i know nothing about the Wolverine so now I turn to you Yamaha guys for your help. Whaddya think of the Wolverine....thanks in advance for the help.

 

I just bought a 2002 wolverine for 4995, so I would think his price is high. Late.

 

Its is a good bike,, But I think the pice is a little steep.....
My opinion....

 

Sorry, but i should have made it clear that the price is 5,000 Canadian dollars....how do you like the wolverine and what can you tell me about it?

 

What is the Conversion to Dollars?????????

 

$5000 Canadian is about $3200 U.S.

 

I like mine so far only had it about a month. Seems like the best all around bike out there, as for as play & work. Late.

 

I have a 99 Wolvy.. great bike. lots of fun, only problem is we ended up doing more mud ridding than trail riding, so we bought a Grizz.

I have had it 3 years this month, and have done NOTHING to it but change the oil every summer.

it's for sale too [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Would you think it's a better bike than the rancher or big bear?

well, as usual, it all depends on the type of riding.. if they want to get the wolvy for blasting down trails, wooded areas and even a little sport riding, then yes, it is better

If they plan on using it for a utility bike, lots of mud riding etc., then not necesarily. I have found that mine has a really tall first gear and bogs down alot in heavy mud, has VERY little mud protection ( I was always the first to get muddy, and the muddiest at the end), and I would think bigger tires wouldn't help the gearing at all.

Now, they make alot of stuff for the wolvy to turn it into a great mud machine, but I didn't want to go that route.


so, as usual, tha answer is &quot;depends on what kind of riding&quot;
