Remember the honda trail 70.
Something along those lines but for a bigger person.
Rembert the big wheel(polais) iirc.
Rubicon I believe.

I know there is the yamaha tw200.

.

Is there anything else.

An atv would work as well possibly.

I tried to buy one listed here but sold between the time I inquired and c was able to respond.

Would like to be around $1500-2000 budget

Any thoughts

Thanks guys

Does it need to be road legal?

TW200 was the first one that popped in my head.

I would check www.cycletrader.com or check any power sports dealership in your area for ATV's.

For farm/trail use, I would go with the ATV. You will have a tough time finding a good ATV in the $1500-2000 price range.

The Honda Trail 125 1KPerDay suggested is really what you're looking for in a low cost trail motorcycle. You're not going to find them new for under 4K however. It's not a performance machine. It is very easy to ride and approachable. It will do a good job getting you from point A to point B.

I doubt you'll find anything worth a crap in that price range.

The Rokons are around 10k:

What is the intended use? You might get some more 'on-target' recommendations if we knew what you wanted (needed?) to do with it.

$9k is just a bit over the OP budget

For just riding on dirt roads, nice trails, across the pasture, etc. a TW200 would do fine, probably better yet a Yamaha XT250. Both are street legal. But at least in our market these bikes used, maybe 12-15 years old, bring $2,500+ depending on condition. Since street legal is not a requirement and if you can deal with a tall seat, you might search Facebook Marketplace for "used dirt bike" because ones that are not street legal tend to command lower prices. When I just searched here this is the first one that came up and actually looks pretty good for $2,000. https://www.facebook.com/marke...65-bb33-1738369a49e3

IMO a used quad might be more useful, it can go most any place a dirt bike can and more (in ice and snow for instance). And you can strap stuff like a saw, tools, etc., on the racks as well as pull a little utility trailer. Older ones especially 2WD generally go for $1,500 and up with decent 4WD ones starting around $2,000 and up.


No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

If you can find a Tote Goat in decent shape they last forever.
Not built for speed, but simple and rugged.

Cheers~

Not terrible for a 'cheap' runabout, as long as you don't have the need to carry much that can't be carries on your person, and don't be in a hurry.

Thanks guys.
I need something low geared
I can put racks on it to carry items I need to move.
A yamaha big bear at would be awesome too.
Hard to find anymore that isn't trashed.
Also a can am traxtor at would be good.
Maybe an atv would be a good choice. But the right motor cycle would we be great too

For basic transportation around my 60 acres I bought a new Coleman BT200X at my local farm & ranch supply a couple of years ago. $500 on a Black Friday sale. I use it to putt around and check fences, trails and just for the fun of it. It's not dirt-bike fast, but it gets this old man around the place just fine. It's not small like an original mini-bike, but more like an adult-sized mini-bike. All my friends and their kids/grandkids want to ride it when they come over to visit.

Thx M, tractor supply has one $750 not on
sale. The gal said they do go one sale.
That might end up being something to consider
Especially for that kind of $

There are a lot of cheap Chinese built 125-250 adult size dirt bikes. These are the sort of thing they sell all across Asia and are made extremely well.

Honda Fourtrax 300. Honda built over 1 million of these. They can be had either 2x4 or 4x4. The later models are better. I think it went out of production in 2000-2001. I have a 1998 model that still runs.

The Honda Foreman was the next step up IIRC. Bigger engine, selectable 4WD on those models.

Bottom Line IMHO, a Honda would be the best bet, followed by Yamaha.

Good luck.
