I just bought an ATV today. It's a 1987 Honda 250 2-whell drive. It has a 5-speed with reverse. The plastics are ok. It runs great and does not smoke at all.

I hope I got a good deal... $500.00.

What do you all think?

 

You can't beat that for 500.00.

 

You're riding "Red" for 500 bucks..........Sounds like a good deal to me.

 

One thing about honda`s there hard to kill, like the energizer bunny.

 

I have been in the market for one for about a year or so. But ATV's hold their value, and I could not find one for under $1,000.00.

If this thing turns out to be a dud, which I don't think it will, it's not that much money. Maybe I'll go for a nicer one in a few years. But this will do until then.

 

Whoa Chris-you are on a diesel forum, and bought a vehicle that doesn't smoke? Blasphemy! Have fun-there are plenty of places to ride around here!

 

HAHAHA, No smoke at all! And no whistle either!

PM sent...

 

Drive it like ya stole it!!! Great deal, watch out for head gasket leaks. Those years were bad for that.

 

Hopefully I'll have no issues. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

 

They are great. You will soon be saving money for something larger than a 250 to play with

 

Or a couple...they are so addictive!!!

 

Hey Rick-- I want the wheels and tires off your Yamaha-ha...

For my polaris...

 

Those years are some of the most reliable quads built and def since its a red one? Dad has a 2 atc's 85 and 86 that have both seen there rough years and still start on sec or third kick in cold weather with no rebuilds.

 

my brother has one and the motor got hot and locked up. we took the spark plug out used a breaked bar to turn the motor over a few times, tied it to the back of the truck and pulled it around the block in gear. put the plug back it and has ran like a dream for over a year now like that! i think his might just be a 200 but he got his cheap also. good find they are pretty stout machines!

 

I think they will be going on my Rhino when I get it....unless they don't fit...then I'll consider it. Might just have to buy a brand new set. Turbo, 4-wheeler, turbo ,four-wheeler, what do I do?!
