Title: Mileage on an ATV Post by: caospop on July 12, 2007, 07:53:24 AM I was just wondering. What is the highest mileage that someone has come across on an ATV or ATC. Share your stories of the old quads and trikes,i.e how did they run, handle, etc. today vs yesterday. Let us not forget the grandfathers of our sport.

Title: Re: Mileage on an ATV Post by: cheropride on July 12, 2007, 05:51:41 PM I have no idea how many miles it had on it, but I had a 1985 Kawasaki 185, the first the actually came out ATV (4 vs 3). It wasn't 4WD drive, but that bike was a blast. It still ran when I gave it to my neighbor, when I got my Prairie, in Dec of 06. The kid never rides it, and it's just sitting there, heck I just put brand new tires on it too. Told my husband I want it back, at least it still ran....lol
