My back got the best of me so I had not been riding much. A guy ask what I would take for my Prairie & I must have hit my head and low balled myself. He never jump at buying it before when he would ask so I thought he was joking. I Said 1200 he pulled out 1125 now I don't have a quad. My wife tried to make me feel good by saying you gave 1600 5yrs. ago and put a lot of miles on it. I can still ride my daughters foreman 500 and she wants a dirt bike so I am checking into a Yamaha ttr 125 or a Suzuki dr-z 125 for her.

as much as it hurts, 375.00 bucks for 5 years of pleasure isnt too bad ...

and you still have a quad ... a good quad, nothing wrong with Hondas !!

i say find your daughter the dirt bike and you will be back in the saddle

Thanks OX for the kind words! I went to look at a Yamaha today and the guy tried to feed me the biggest bs I think I have heard. Heres the laugh lines the front wheel wobbled it could be the spokes needing adjustment was my thought but he said it only wobbled on pavement and not on dirt. He said it was setup for a big bore kit and I was looking at the motor playing dumb and he said you cant see it because the parts are inside the motor and I would just have to buy the piston & rings to make it a 150cc from 125cc. So his lie was he had more or less a 150cc jug with a 125 piston & rings. The oil was filled to the tip top of the oil fill hole if you tried to add a tea spoon it would run over I didn't even ask to see what the story would be. I held back from what I wanted to say and was P Oed to drive an hour 1 way. But in the end I cracked up thinking about the bs he told.

OX I added a 2006 Suzuki DR-Z 125L to the family today. Now we have the Foreman 500 & the Suzuki its the first time I have ever owned a Suzuki. I can still ride like you said Ill just miss the power of the 650 v-twin.
