MarineNYC Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 I have a friend that has a house in upstate NY. His father loves to hunt and get around the property. He was looking at this quad to just put around and for reliabilty. He was willing to drop around 2700 on the whole set up. It looks clean but I just dont know anything about these things. Any opinions will be appreciated. Please hurry. TY http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...5&viewitem= Quote
Bansheeman1121 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Its nice man but i used to be into em utility quads.. I can tell you if your just doin light work, plowin and easy joy ridin it will work.. But if you start muddin em those cvt trannys slip you no what i mean like hardcore muddin and stuff lol.. Good for easy going but other than that get a diff 4x4 i can tell you that. Quote
MarineNYC Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Posted November 25, 2008 Its just for getting around the property. He is almost 70. No mudding for him. Quote
Bansheeman1121 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Jeezzzz I feel dumb didnt read it through good.. Definatly a good buy for him see if u can get a little better price but it will be a nice machine for that Quote
dragbanshee Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 I think thats a pretty good deal for a 05 model 4x4, and yea you would have to be doing some heavy duty muddin to screw up the belt. Thats what most of them have anyway, be plenty good for that type riding and more. Quote
MarineNYC Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Posted November 25, 2008 What do you think he should through out there? Quote
caddyman Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 What do you think he should through out there? does it show his reserve??? Quote
MarineNYC Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Posted November 25, 2008 It says 2500 reserve not met Quote
dragbanshee Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 I would go the 2700 but no more. Quote
caddyman Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 I would go the 2700 but no more. Same here. The plow and trailer will ad a bit.....but not much. Did you check the NADA site to see what it books for? Quote
fastrthnu Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 I dont care for kawi quads at all. Yamaha big bears or hondas are going to be the best for the buck imo. Quote
caddyman Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 NADA? Yep, if you want to check the value of a car, motorcycle, atv. www.nada.com Great resorce for the informed buyer. Quote
wacko2000 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 I dont care for kawi quads at all. Yamaha big bears or hondas are going to be the best for the buck imo. I have to dis-agree, The kawasaki prairie and Brute force are absolute monsters. They have Tons of power and are fast as hell for 700lb quads. My buddy has the yamaha grizzly and there are garbage..They are weak,slow and dont handle nearly aswell as the kawi. Just my opinion.. Have you rode any of the new 4*4? They really are going crazy with these things, they are getting faster and faster.. Pretty crazy. As far as the honda goes, the new honda 4*4 are awesome, they have come a long way with them..Gps and all the gooodies.. Hey Sean that bike right there is a good machine, my father used to have a 300 kawi 4*4, plowed real good, very very slow but a good machine, never had a prob in 4yrs, Now he has the 700 prairie..
