What was tour first ATV you purchased on your own? Do you still have it?

My first ATV was a 2003 Honda foreman 450s, I sold it 4 years ago to my best friend I grew up with and he still has it today

PS, it still purrrs like a kitten

Bought a 1999 450 or 400 (can't remember) Arctic Cat in 2001. I hauled a lot of deer out of the woods with it. I babied it, and was able to sell it in 2013 to purchase my first sxs.

Man i really cant remember. Probably a Honda ATC of some sort like a 185s or 200s. The first one i bought on my own brand new was an '03 Honda 400ex SportTrax off of the showroom floor. When i was about 15 i saved up and bought an '88 Honda TRX 250R racing quad for only $900 from a kid in the neighborhood a few blocks over. Other than that ive had tons of 3 wheelers. Tons of dirtbikes. Now ive got the P5 and an 88 Honda 300 fourtrax thats half tore apart.

My first was a 1974 Honda XL350 dual sport, then a 1982 Honda XR500R, then a 2002 XR650R. My current 2016 Honda Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe is my first 4-wheeler.

My first was a 07 Honda foreman 500 foot shift. Love it. Still have it today. I had a 850 Polaris sportsman and had nothing but trouble with it. I had a can am 1000 xt outlander. It was ok but not a Honda so I sold it and got a 1000-5 pioneer and it was a great choice.

My first Atv was a 83 Honda oddossy 250. I bought it 20 years ago used, and it still runs like a top. I still have it and gonna get my 7 year old daughter out on it this year. Not many atv’s out there that are still running strong after 35 years, I only wish they still made them as good as they used to. There’s a good chance my kids kids will still be riding that oddossy and all the quads and sideXsides I bought since then will be long past their life expectancy.

1981 Yamaha Tri-Z 225. That was before the government informed us that we were sure of instant death if we continued to ride the demon 3 wheelers.

I have still today a 1997 model 400 Foreman, that is still in good shape, I bought at the end of 1996.It still has original tires, and only one has a very small leak. The bike cranks very easily, and runs great, and uses no oil.doesn’t even smoke. It’s had one carburetor kit due to Ethanol Gas, and still original brakes.

Also have had a Honda185s 3 wheeler, 1993 Honda 300 Fourtrax, bought second hand, A Honda 450 Rebel,also 1984 Honda 650 NightHawk, and a 1991 Honda Anniversary Edition Gl 1500 Gold Wing. None of these Honda’s ever gave me a minutes trouble, other than mostly batteries. On December 2nd, I purchased a 2017 Honda Pioneer Deluxe 1000-5, and with reading owners manual, and service I expect to own it 20 plus years or more. I love my Honda’s I have owned.
