A 1984 Suzuki LT125. Mine looked just like that, but had a blue seat and decals. It was great. No suspension, but it did have reverse.

87 Honda 250X. Bought it after riding a 250x and a friend just bought a Warrior. I realize now I was a little to big for that 250X, but it still was a great quad.

Our first quad is a 01 Rubicon. Wished I had started riding sooner. Better late than never. The second was a 02 Rancher 4X4 ES for the kids.

1st one was a 86 LT230 Quadsport bought about 3 years ago

2nd is a 86 LT250 Quadracer bought 9 months ago and for sale now. see it on my pic page.

3rd is a 87 LT500 Quadracer bought around 6 months ago but probably wont run for about 6 more. Gonna keep this one till I die of old age or the beasturds wont let me ride it anymore.

4th is a 91 LT250 Quadracer bought a few months ago that I ride now and will be for sale after I finish the LT500

5th will be small late model utility bike to ride in the summer when everything in Fl turns to mud. Hopefully by next summer.

6th will be a big late modlel utility quad. Whenever my finances permit it.

Well I was 13 and I had dreamed of a ATV my whole life!! So my first ATV was a 99 Suzuki Quadrunner 500 4x4, that my parents paid for!! Very good quad, had 500 miles on it when I got it, and when I sold it, it had 3500 miles on it. Sold it on Ebay and the man sends me emails tellin me the Quad is still running strong and is enjoyed by his children. Now my pride and Joy is a 02 Eiger 4x4, which my parents are making me pay for this one now lol!

hey mine was a suzi 230 like you have now, dang i'd like to have that one back! that quad was way ahead of its time.


yeah, i'm getting kinda anxious to get my 'Sport up on it's wheels and running but funds are low right now. hopefully i'll have it running soon.

Polaris Trail blazer 250

Hmmm.. That would be a 1976 or 78' Honda ATC110. Started out with no suspension... What a hard ride! When I was done, it was fully suspended - I think that was really the only mods that were done.. A few motor rebuilds through the years too.

95 Polaris Scrambler 400 4x4, totalled it, bought me a Z400. Gonna trade for a YFZ450, if the boss(wife) lets me.

A Blaster, and I had a blast. The thing was to small for me tough, but I didn't know it at the time.

1980 something 185 ATC. Rode like he!! but was fun.

1976 ATC 70 three wheeler. Tractor style baby!

Posted by: RuckusRacing

Seen some young guys out ripping on a blaster today and it got me thinking about when I got my first quad. It was a 1987 Honda TRX125. Red & White, solid axles front & rear, big ol' balloon tires on the back. I think it would run about 40 or 45 mph. I got it when I was 11, I think.

I learned alot from that quad...how to neutral drop an auto-clutch so I could ride wheelies, I remember the first time I was able to jump my parents driveway ditch to ditch!! It was like 10ft wide kinda like a mini tabletop.

Its been almost 14 years now and I'm still riding and have no plans on stoping.

What was your First Quad?

Mine was a new 94 Polaris 400L 4x4. Never gave a stitch of trouble. Ran it hard for 3 years and played for 6 years.

Would have got a Polaris 2 wheel if they made a 700

2003 Honda Rancher Es 350 4x4. I love it. wish I could have got it when I was younger.

My first quad was a little suzuki 80...the first day I got it I wrecked twice! My dad was probably wondering what he had gotten himself into...
