socalhodaka 104 Posted May 24, 2009 Yesterday I met a great guy Ken "aka" Trophyhunter at his house. I looked over his bikes and we traded a few stories while the kids played. He showed me his cool little find of a TTR90 that needs some top end work, this will be a get little bike for his little girl. Last season my little guy who will be 5 in July rode his first motorized machine, a borrowed little Kawasaki 50 quad. Well it was my lucky day, on the way home from Ken's house I stopped by a garage sale a couple blocks from my house. In the garage was a little Suzuki 50 Quad and a Polini Racer, I ask what he was going to do with the Quad? His answer was " I will let you have it all for $600 plus all the gear for two kids" and if I didn't take it it would go on Craigslist for $1000 What do you think I did?

tntmo 902 Posted May 26, 2009 Excellent find! Those suzuki quads run forever and have great re-sale value. I dont know about polini motorcycles. Are they Honda knock-offs or what? Polini makes racing 50cc two stroke motorcycles, they are one of the top names in kids racing along with Cobra and a few others. Check out some of the specs on these little racing machines. http://www.poliniusa.com/mxmodel.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My dog Wolfie outweighs her by 15 Lbs. Like my motorcycles she keeps me young. :curtsey: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
