I wonder if it has that awesome VTEC technology I've been hearing about?

I learned that people who look homeless can come in to the store and drop near three grand on guns and accessories on a whim.

If not, he could try Canada. Might be a few still floating around, but just for a helluva higher price...

Crap. I never got a response to my email or text and the ad got taken down so it looks like it sold... maybe I shoulda called... Ahh well. I'll keep looking.

I can also get parts through the States if need be, otherwise I don't think it would be that hard to find what I need in Canada used or new. My dad's lifelong friend owns a small motorsports company and his primary business is repairs. He's a fairly knowledgeable guy and I'm sure he'd be more than willing to give advice or discounted work. So it helps to know that if I do get stuck on something, I know I can count on this guy to not rip me off and offer solid advice. Plus he's got a mini track he lets us use =) I don't expect to have it up and running right away but I think this is great opportunity to learn some valuable/practical knowledge. --- Anyways, what are some of the things I should be looking for when I get a chance to see it in person? Visible damage like a cracked case or cracked frame are the obvious ones I guess.

Ah, that's good to hear!

Cool. I'm gunna contact him to see if it's running or not. Either way, I'll probably go take a look at it in two or three days. Admittedly, I'm not at all a gear head. But I'm willing to learn and this looks like a decent place to start. Any idea how much it would cost for an engine rebuild and to replace the bearings, bushings etc? Thanks guys.

Well, I've been trying to save up for a 450r but at the moment I've found what 'seems' to me like a decent deal. http://alberta.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-ATVs-snowmobiles-ATVs-Honda-TRX-250-W0QQAdIdZ377558756 Keep in mind, Canadian prices compared to US prices differ quite a bit it seems. (Is it just me or does the subframe look tweaked to one side? Could just be uneven ground though. Other than it's obviously seen some wear and tear and the bumper looks like it was smacked pretty good. Clutch cover missing? Shift lever missing? Do you guys see anything I'm (most likely) missing?) I've never owned a sport quad (discounting a little honda 90cc when I was younger), so basically I'm just looking for some advice on what I should do. For 700 OBO I could maybe take it for 500 let's says. As far as I can tell, a good deal on 06+ 450r is 2500-4000 here. Good condition 250r's for about the same. I ride mainly trails, some sand pits once in a while, but I'm open to trying xc, mx, and ice racing. Would it be worth it to just continue saving up for a deal on a 450r, or look into this 250r assuming it runs?

I'd take 100+ in summer over -60 in winter! Looks like fun. I've always liked the look of duners but we don't have a use for em where I live. PC the frame and axle black! Then tint the headlight! Murdered out bikes look sweet. Those are Alba a-arms right? How are they working out for you?

Sweet. Looks like Alberta terrain!

Ahh, I see. I'm not all that up to date on American politics. This was the rifle I was referencing as to McMillan having been manufacturing firearms since at least 2000. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMillan_Tac-50

Seems like a odd time for this to happen, McMillan has been producing firearms for quite a while I thought? I know the Canadian Army has been buying their TAC-50 since about 2001.

Don't forget about us Canadians!
