Anyone have a 4 wheeler?

I have an 09 Yamaha Big Bear. Just put a 2 inch lift on it last week and I'm getting ready to order 27 inch tires...just not sure which ones to go with. I'm thinking the Maxxis Zillas maybe.

Buddy used to have a raptor. He didn't know how to ride it, I did, it was decent machine. Used to ride banshee's back in the day too. Don't ride wheelers as much. My dad has a little recon, nothing monster or anything but it's cool for getting deep.

Yeah they are a blast. I kept getting high centered last time I went riding at a new ATV park near my house so I'm putting a lift and new tires on. Should remedy that problem nicely.

Yeah the things are heavy bitches if you drive into the wrong spot, winch is a life saver.

Not persoanlly, but my girlfriends Dad has a Raptor and Grizzly, and her brother has a yfz 450. I like the 450 the most, shit can fly. I rolled the Grizz before and fuck it up a bit.

Used to back in the day before kids. I rode a '86 Honda CR 250 and the wife had a '90 Suzuki LT 250. It was all about high speeds on the dirt or sand for us. Local tree huggers were shutting down our ride areas and when we were looking to upgrade legislation was pushing the 4 stroke agenda... So we moved more to water activities for summer fun...

Those Grizzlies are badass. I almost popped for one but it was a little more expensive than I wanted to go. I paid 7200 for the Big Bear brand new with a winch installed. I've been happy with it so far. The only complaint I've had is that it idles kinda rough until it gets nice and warm. It's a mud machine, though, with the IRS and locking differential. 4 wheeling is a fun weekend hobby and I'm a hunter so I use it for that too. They're definitely easy to roll if you're not careful. I'm fairly docile on them but my brother rides like a maniac. He's rolled many 4 and 3 wheelers.

I own zero toys right now, no truck to haul them with either. Looking at getting some old Toyota Pickup or something like that though, something practical, yet cheap, and easy to work on. This will no doubt be the toy though. KX 450.

No, i'm pretty comfortable with my penis size thank you

i'm so kidding

I last owned a Honda CR 250 over 10 years ago probably. Rode a KX 500 for several years but never owned it. I'm bigger so those bike are perfect for me. I could easily settle for a 250, but I won't

Sick GDP a 450 some serious shit, I used to ride when I was like 16/17 and had a yz 250

The KX 500 I used to ride was bad. I always knew the next toy I bought was gonna be that. They switched it up to 450 but the new bikes are so sick, it's better then the old 500. It kinda sucks thinking about it now because I won't even begin to consider purchasing it at least until next spring. Figuring about 4g for a decent pickup and 7g for a 2 or 3 year old primed bike.

Yeah the Grizz is like what 9 and change? I'm semi familiar with the Big Bear, basically the same type of wheeler as the Grizz. You know what I like is the Rhino, not a hunter, but there's a hunting machine.

When I rolled it I was ripping through this open feild kind of doing some donuts, and turned to hard and got thrown like 10 feet and it rolled over like twice, fucked up the bars, but not structural damage besides some scratches.

When I was a kid I had a CR 80 and then a CR 125. Loved them both. Those 2 strokes will get it.

Something like that, the Rhinos are much more expensive, though. It's hard to hurt them really, they're damn near bullet proof unless you get water in the engine.

Rhino's are sick, it's funny. Where I always see Rhino's are these rich people on vacation. They have them hauled or delivered to their cabin at the lake or somewhere and they drive them down the street to the market or the bar like they are bad ass. It's so dumb, I want to steal their keys at the bar then jump their shit into the lake.

Wow ur gonna be ending dropping some coin on all that, you could def get a solid bike 2-3 years old, actually just went looking and saw some hot shit in that range, you'll only need to drop like 5 g's unless ur looking for something really serious.

Yeah that's the high range for fully primed. I will expect to pay that much at most from someone I know who puts bike together pro and maintains them good.

And I have need for a pickup.

Pickups are the shit, I don't know what I'd do without one. I have an 04 Tundra 4 door, V8. I love it, especially with the Big Bear in the back.

Yeah and I don't even need anything that tough for what I want to do. No serious hauling. First vehicle I ever owned was old Jeep Comanche. I wish I still had that thing. Had a little Dakota after that, ran better but didn't pull in the strange wool like the Comanch.
