looking at quads/ atvs.

3 wheelers are a ton of fun, um were anyway.  If you are not experienced they are dangerous in certain ways.  Corners, off camber front misplaced, ruts, turning on a hill!!  Front is very light up hill wheelie, downhill weight transfer sketchy etc.  So in comparison yes they are for experienced riders to say the least.  I don't care for em.

Good points - Experience does make a big difference, but even most newbies can do a lot with a good tri-moto as long as they are responsible and don't try to ride beyond the machine's capabilities. Out here on the East side, many three-wheelers can be found in good shape for ridiculosly low prices, and can still be a great option for an outdoorsman on a budget.   MANY MANY more people have been injured or killed on 4-wheelers than 3 wheelers just due to the sheer numbers produced / popularity factor, as well as the same issue of  lack of caution;  that anybody can just hop on and twist the throttle and fly!!!  Like Honda says --- STUPID HURTS! 

It is stupid easy to flip a three wheeler, been there and done that. Four wheelers a are exceptionally more stable. Another consideration is that four wheels can straddle the hump while three always has one on the rough part.

I have only owned 3 wheelers my whole life. I have never had any accidents on them. Anything can be dangerous if you use it the wrong way. 3 wheelers should never have been banned in my opinion. They are lighter and a lot more nimble than a quad. It’s all about the person riding it I guess

Looking At quads not racers, not tractors, just a quad to ride around. I am 200 lbs. How big do I need?250? 400? I think I want 4X4. I do not want a giant size one, little and easy to ride. My brother has a like 800 cc giant one that is just about the size of a jeep bobtail, with winches and al sorts of stuff. I do NOT want that. smaller and dependable is more important than speed.
Thanks

$1500.00 not $400.00  I found a lot of them so far, one a 1993 300 cc might be too old has lots of options tho. $2300.00, found a few for around $4500.00 newer with lots of stuff. winches etc. Racks. new one cost too much. Looks to me that a patient guy with cash can make a hell of a buy, I will wait for that. Thanks for your help

$15 - that's pretty good for Lynnwood... 

Craigslist man, Craigslist!!!! It ain't Dick's! I've NEVER paid full bore on a craigslist deal...Offer him $900 cash and see how it rolls!

PS - Nothin' strikes-up conversation or gets ya some "old-school skills" cred around huntin' camp like an ole' tri-moto. Course I'm not you're average bear when it comes to laying low and fitting-in...which is a lotta folks' bag these days... Anyway good luck on a find, whether it be 3 wheels or 4 or even 6!
