    I like them. One of my friends has one, he has owned it since the early 90's and the only things that has had to be replaced were some wheel bearings and a CDI box, they are the typical reliable Honda machine. Another guy I used to ride with had one and he had the same good fortune. They make a good all around quad. They have ok suspension, brakes and power. Not a sport machine but you can move it around just fine. The biggest problem I have with it is that it is a little on the small side for me. I am 6'2" and feel a little cramped but the main thing is the foot room. The shifter is a little short but that doesn't matter too much since my toes usually end up hitting the front fender instead.

    I have an 86, it is my wife's machine. It's the perfect size for her too. The electric start and reverse is nice too. I love it.....plus you can not go wrong with a honda.
    It's not so funny MEOW, is it?

    They are great running quads, not the greatest suspension but all the perks of electric start and reverse. You didnt mention your physical size, but they are very small quads, and almost a bit cramped, even for me at 5'7" and 185 lbs. For small guys, teens and women they make excellent trail machines.

    My brother in law has one. nice quad! Small not real fast but fun and bullet proof. Ive personally seen him wreck and roll numerous times and that thing just keeps going. Buried in mud and crossed creeeks with it and it still lives. For the abuse he has given that old quad and for it to still be running its amaizing.

    Though not quite as amaizing as why my big red still runs. I think its a contest to see who will die first me or the machine. My money is on the trike running long after Im gone
