Looking at used ATV’s

And I just can’t bring myself to even consider one with a snorkel. Is this irrational?
Also, Yamaha make a decent bike? Grew up. On Hondas better prices on Yamahas

Not at all. I assume the bikes with snorkels have been road hard and put up wet.

Absolutely not. I am the same way. The best is when they have snorkel and big sound tube, but then put on the description that it was barely rode and always easy. You put a snorkel on it for one reason only and that is to ride through deep mud and water.

If it is cheap and you wanna rag it out (more) then why not. However, a snorkel is a pretty good sign it's been ragged out and probably sunk. Not always but that is how I have always thought.
ETA: I do not know if it is my age showing but I keep seeing kids riding bikes around town with pvc pipes attached to the frame of the bicycle sticking up above the handle bars like a snorkel. Guess so they dont flood their bicycle brakes.

Yes, Yamaha makes good machines.

What’s the going price for a mint 2008 Honda foreman 500 w nice aftermarket rims and tires?

I wouldn't buy one with a snorkel either unless it was sub 1k. Yamaha grizzly is a beast of a machine.

I have 2 Yamahas and 1 Honda. All of them are around 20 years old, and the Yamahas have held up just as well as the Honda.
I don’t think you can go wrong with either one.

I would never buy an ATV that has/had a snorkel. Also, I don’t want one ridden by anyone under the age of 30.
Ideally I want one owned by an old man who used it to drive around the farm and to/from the deer stand. Especially if they are looking at upgrading to a SxS because it’s easier to get in/off of.

I treat my bikes like an adult should. A used bike that’s been snorkeled has I high chance of being worked way harder than I’d like.
I just bought a used ATV and am selling my UTV.
The first thing I tell potential buyers is that this bike has been cared for and serviced annually.
Never stuck. Never sunk.
Good luck!

Not irrational at all, there is a reason they have snorkels on them and it isn't because they treated it with extreme care.

Not at all. As a side note seeing lots of new SUVs and trucks with Snorkels. As if any of these people in town would drive down a muddy road much less their vehicle into water more than 1 foot deep... laughable.

Does anyone remember the calculation somebody posted one time to determine if it was a mud bike or not? It was basically the lifetime average mph and if it was over/under X then it probably lived at a mud park
