well the thing with those is there shaft drive im pretty sure i tried to pound on a shaft and race it trust me they dont hold up, but trails and little playing there great quads. cant go wrong if you can get a deal and you respect what it is and its limits.

Those quads are not shaft drive, they are chain drive. They are the model before they introduced the 300ex. My buddy had one and he beat the crap out of it and never had any issues with it. Honda's are very durable machines and he had a blast with it. I would say the price is a little on the high side but I'm not sure how much they are going for these days. I do have a banshee that is currently for sale, if you are interested PM me or email me at sorenson16@hotmail.com.

I used to have an 04 660R Raptor. Loved it! I realize it isn't the best racing quad compared to the 450 but it had tons of torque and loved to pull the front tires off the ground. It was comfortable for trail riding but also had enough suspension to jump and handle quite nice at high speeds. I know I have seen early models go for about $2500 around here. I think that price is kind of high based that its an 80's quad compared to what the Raptors are going for but that could be completely different in your area.

my brother in law has a polaris 700 not sure which year its only couple years old.4x4,winch,racks.The thing is an animal idk how accurate the speedos are on wheelers but i was pushing 80 according to it.Went down a road in the country and passed a couple of older guys on full dress harleys,they caught up to me at his house and were like we didnt know wheelers could go that fast,they were doin 55 they said.Back to the wheeler anyway i have some pics on my other computer not here on the laptop of me going thru some pretty deep slop and it didnt miss a beat.I was wondering has anyone got to ride the Arctic Cat wheeler with the 1000 i believe its a thundercat??
