yamshe Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) So here's the deal im looking in to a new quad on a budget and I found some options first I found a bone stock 2004 kfx 700 that I can get for 1000 and I found a stock 89 250r that needs front plastic but otherwise is stock for 1000. I guess my question is which one should I buy or should I wait until I can get a deal on a shee? It would be nice to find a good deal on a sheet but my girlfriend could ride the kfx. What do you guys think? Edited November 13, 2012 by yamshe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greedygenius Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 my girl rides a kfx 700 mainly because its one of the few fully auto a sport quads but she loves it..to me it feels kinda heavy and awkward but its been pretty reliable and has a pretty smooth powerband.

bikerjon Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 get the 250r. If you can get a reliable machine for $1000.00 go for it. they are awesome bikes. Maybe not the most powerful but that is not always the most important factor. You could buy the 250r and replace the front plastic and sell it for a profit. 250r's pretty much have a fixed priced now a days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATVridinMaNiAc Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I believe thats a good year for a 250r the kfx bikes are nice but there just in a class of their own, powerful but real heavy and cvt, handling kind of sucks, 2 guys i ride with have them and i walk all over them really bad far as handling and definitely in speed and acceleration.

special06shee Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 bikerjon is 100% right! get the 250r.. clean it up, and flip it if your dont happy with the way it performs! the 89's were the most desired! i had a buddy sell an 89' 250r about a year ago. he sold if for 4200.00!! but it was all redone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blast off Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 The KFX is boring and its the weakest 700 out there. I know someone that had one and very quickly got bored and got a raptor 700. The KFX is a good girls bike. I personally would go with the 250R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamshe Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Now I'm just making things complicated but I found a scrambler 400 4x4 in the same price range. Its muddy around here so the four wheel drive would be nice and its a 2 stroke. I have seen some quick scramblers also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
