A year or 2 ago I picked up an 01 Honda Foreman 450 ES and a 99 Kawasaki Prairie 400 4x4 from a coworker. I keep them at a buddy's small ranch here in TX, but he is selling the place and I have to go pick them up. Without having a place to keep them and no use for them anymore, I am planning on selling them. My questions are, what is a fair price to sell each one for, and what is a fair price to sell them as a pair? I would rather sell them together to be done with it, but my brother in law said he may be interested in the Foreman depending on the hours (I can't remember the hours on either one off the top of my head but they both run good. The prairie needs the pull start kit for it as it wasn't on it when I bought it but electric start works fine. It also has a tear in the seat cover).

Not likely.

How much did you pay for them? Good place to start

I can't go off of that, because they were basically given to me by the guy to get them out of his garage due to non-use.


I live in the Sugar Land area and the bikes are currently in Eagle Lake.

Go on Facebook marketplace and price 10 bikes same year and model throw out the highest and lowest and average them out price 500$ less than average and that’s your bottom dollar price

I may be interested in the Foreman if it's still in good shape

I had to put money into both of them like news tires on both, carb jobs, had the rear axle seals changed on the foreman, bled brakes, changed dif fluids on both, multiple oil jobs on both to make sure they were good after sitting for a while, etc., so that is why I asked fair price and I can always go down from there. Believe me, I'm not trying to make a ton of money here and I did buy them from the guy. Just not for much money.

I would guess a couple grand for the Foreman and a little less for the Prairie would be a good place to start.

Those are $2500 bikes each. I’ve been looking a lot lately since I broke my 99’

Trade you some duck hunts in the EL area for a bike.

2000 for the foreman
And 1500 for the prairie.

Really depends on shape
