Thinking about buying a used ATV to leave at the camp for guests to use or for when I don't bring the Polaris.
Should I be looking Honda? What year models?
Prolly looking at 2k max budget. Can I find something good in that range?

eBay

Honda 420 Rancher manual shift

2011

That should last you as long as you take care of it. Buy from a dealer off eBay.

For another K you can probably get a decent used one.

Have this one, got used from my dad. Can testify that it lasts if you don't abuse it.

I bought a 2001(I believe) Yamaha Grizzly about a couple years ago for 2200. Runs like a top. Check oil for water, test drive and shift all the way through for gears, etc.

It’s so nice not pulling a trailer and atv every time you go to the camp!

The best deep woods ATV ever made is a Honda Big Red 3-wheeler.

The Honda 300 and Bayou 220 would like a word.

I have one that I bought new way back in 1990 I think. Still runs like a champ. Only problem, no brakes, but I am sure it would be a easy fix. Only problems I had with it over the years, I had to change one front bearing and a knuckle in the real end shaft. I don't use it and it has been parked about 7-8 months now from the last time I ran it. It doesn't have a battery, so I have to pull start it. Looks like hell, but still a very good bike. Will sell for $400 if one of y'all want it. I do have all paperwork on it.

Just outside of New Roads.

That price is for OB member's only. I just don't use the bike and would like to help out a member.

Let me know. No big deal as it has been just sitting. Oh, tires are good, just might need air in them.
