Probably picking up a 87 Tecate 4 tomorrow, what should I do with it?

[Keyser Soze]

Me and T-shee are driving 10 hours round trip to pick up a 87 tecate 4 tomorrow. From what I have seen it is in very good condition, the guy says it is in great shape. It needs a rear brake caliper and an airfilter. I know these are very hard to find. Would it be possible to trade it heads up for a banshee? Should I just hang on to it? I just picture me rolling it down a hill and looking for parts for the rest of my life.

I dont think anyone would trade it for a banshee unless the banshee is all screwed up.

If it runs good it would probably be fun to ride.

I had an 85 Tecate ATC that was ported and piped. It was pretty fast and fun to ride, but it

didn't even compare to a piped banshee and was alot lighter.

There are alot of Kawi guys out there that would probably like to have it tho. :thumbsup:

My motor builder is the nations tecate guru. He has 3 complete bikes, and 2 more he is still putting together. I would bet he can help you get the parts.

rear caliper and air filter shouldn't be that hard to find. worst case scenario you use a rear caliper from another quad model. Id keep it, its a rare quad and there's many out there that are still running. That white one for $1500 is nice, the guy did a nice job cleaning it up and it looks good.

He cleaned that one up pretty good before posting it huh...

i like them. you don't see many around and they're probably becoming hard to find. i'd keep it just to have. maybe to restore or just to run every once in a while.

[banshee_terror_]

get it and keep it in the garage for like another 5 to 10 years. then it would be worth alot more.
