Looking to buy 2 new sportsmans

We are back in the market for some new atvs. Looking at the 570s (price being the main factor) and I’m just looking for some help from the been there done that crowd. Don’t want to buy and then have someone say oh you should have done …….. Or should have gone to……..

So far best deal I have found is Abernathys in Union City TN

On the fence about the power steering. Our past atvs didn’t have it

Thank for the help

New to Honda ATV’s and need purchasing advice

Hi All,

I’m currently working on a project in South America and we’ve been running with the Honda TRX 500’s up until this point. I’m new to ATV’ing in general and wanted to know if there was a model that was a two seater with comparable parts and mechanics. We’re working in a remote location so having all the fleet with uniform parts will make it easier for repairs.

I’m looking for something extremely durable and reliable as the parts and equipment in this part of the world is quite expensive (a used 2011 TRX500 can run up to 15,000 USD) and we will be beating the crap out of these machines in the jungle.

Thanks.

New member, potential purchase, help!

This is my first post here, and I have a chance to buy my first ever atv. I have found a 2005 Sportsman 800 EFI twin cylinder.

The bike is clean, 2,000 miles, aftermarket aluminum wheels, new tires, winch, plow, chrome front and rear bumpers for $4,000.

I need to know if this is a decent price, and if there is anything to stay away from with this bike.

I will be using this for fun, to plow in the winter, and to pull a brush hog in the summer.

Many thanks!

Help with valuing a 1997 6×6

I am having trouble finding a good fair market value for my 1997 Polaris 6×6 425. Has just about 2100 miles and has zero rust. Just had the carb and fuel system redone and runs like its 1999. Only thing wrong is front brakes need to be redone. Any help would be appreciated.

new to the forum and may be pruchasing quad

hello I am new to the forum here as stated and may be purchasing a 99 fourtrax 300 4×4. Its been sitting in a barn for who knows how long. id like to get it running and drivable but am unsure what to check besides basics as it’d be my first 4stroke machine. besides oil, plug, carb, filters ect., what should I be concerned with? any help would be awesome! oh and it’d more than like only be picked up for a couple hundred bucks which I feel would be worth while getting back up to good shape. and last issue he knew it has was something with the rear end he was unsure of what.
