I guess I’m either showing my age, ignorance or ? The prices on these things are outrageous !! Even used ones on CL etc…
Noob here been lurking here and a few other sites and finally decided to ask.
I’ve been to three different dealers and only one offered to let me drive one around the parking lot..
I mean don’t blast me now , but come on do you go to a car dealership sit in the car then say I’ll take it ?? NO !
Most Dealerships have test ride days on motorcycles sign the waivers show proof of MC license and proof of Ins. SOOOOO
I’ve asked if they ever do a test ride days , take a few out to some controlled closed off road place and let people test ride them and I get the glare are you crazy look from them.
Or would they consider taking out one of their own (seems alot have their own) or a demo to see if I’d even like it.
I offered a signed commitment to purchase on the condition the Mrs and I like it.
And still got no can do…
Next up they don’t even flinch when they rattle off the price of these beasts !
A little of my past , use to race motocross early 80s then got into the 4 wheelers Yamaha warrior which was a POS then got a Suzuki quad 250 , sold that and got a sand rail and took it to Sand Mountain outside of Fallen Nv a few times and had a blast. Sold that in 93 and been on Harley’s since.
Now older with two lower back surgeries (I’m now fused from L3-S1 So I’m not into the well the youtube videos of flying, jumping and raising hell … lol Just want to maybe get a 900 trail and the Mrs and I can just trail ride.
I’ve read horror stories about staying away from the older 800’s ? Stay away from the Can Ams , The new Yamaha burns up the clutch , haven’t read much about the Hondas with the auto trans .
Then I do a Craigslist and there are ones with less than 100 miles / hours and buttload of add ons for obviously more than a brand new one from the dealer . Or just alot with very low miles/hours and already selling them
Do these people just jump on the bandwagon because there popular and get it take it out and realize it ain’t for them ? The wife hates it ???
I know certain things hold their value and of coarse these being popular I guess alot feel they can buy one run it for a few years and ask what they paid for it..?
So I’m kinda torn between if I get a chance to ride/drive one of these RZRs or just get a Dune Buggy that’s street legal. Yet I can still do the mountain logging roads?
Either way if I get one or the other I was going to set up to pull behind our small 25 ft MH
900 Trail in my trailer or the DB 4 wheels down..
The trailer I have now is only 54 inchs wide hence the 50in Trail RZR its an old uhaul with sides and pulls nice .
Sorry for the winded first post , but what’s a person do to get a chance to ride/drive one of these things?
Thanks for any advise , input , but please hold back on the blasting …
