i paid $1000 for my 1992 honda trx250x, i know its kinda old, but it's pretty much exactly the same as a newer 300ex besides the updated plastics. it runs great and has new rear tires and new front plastic

i've seen a few youtube videos of the chinese 200cc quads, they are fast and there's a lot of wheel spin with an adult on. I'm not looking to enter the xgames, just to be able to go out trailing, but at the same time i don't need a huge work horse, thought it would be a great compromise.

Yeah but dude, 1000$ for a 1992 bike, that's 19 years old...

Cars in good shape don't cost that much.

i bought my yamaha timberwolf utility 4x2 for $650 that thing is a workhorse for just being a little air cooled 250. i used it a few months back to drag tree trunks around after i cut down 5 trees. i was blown away when the thing dragged 500+ pound logs around with ease.

yea but a quad doesn't get used half as much as a car really. and its a honda they run forever. another down side about the chinese ones its its near impossible to get parts for them.

i'm not trying to give you a hard time i just want you to be happy with what you get and for it to be actually a quality machine. just coming from experience everyone i've known that has bought one has had huge problem and it finds itself at the curb in a matter of a month or two.

i bought my trx250x from my neighbor and he rode it alot since he bought it back in the day. no probs besides the normal wear and tear stuff. honda has def. become my #1 choice in atvs. My friends 2002 suzuki ltz 250 is in the shop getting its motor rebuilt as we speak. i'm not trying to tell you what to buy either, just trying to help you get something that you dont have to work on all the time

Don't worry, i question a lot because i want to make an informed decision

There's 3 or 4 stores that sells these chinese motorcycles here, the scooters are very popular, you see them everyfreakingwhere, some look awesome, others look stupid.

Because of quebec laws, they also include a digital spedometer, flashers and mirrors on some quads like the one i was looking at:

clicky

Sorry it's in french..
