I bought this 1987 Suzuki LT500 Quadzilla from NASCAR driver Casey Mears right before he moved to Tennessee to begin his NASCAR career. I really regret selling it and if I could find it I would buy it back in a heart beat. Great bike, so much power. I will own another one day. I really like the looks of the 89' and 90'



What rides do you wish you never sold??? Lets hear about them guys & gals!

Very nice zilla
I feel your pain
One bike I regret selling was my first trx250r
It was my grandfathers bought brand new in 86 ,then my dads then mine ,when I got it ,it was worn down I was 13 at the time but I loved it
Rode the crap out of it ,went threw many topends and a rod
Turned 18 got a job ,did a full rebuild ,I mean everything ,bearings,seals,gaskets
,brand new OEM electrics ,Frame was OG paint ,never rolled ,had a lot of OEM stuff aswill
Had a full ESR built 310 motor it wasn't the fastest but it was reliable

My first bike when I was 6 was a '75 XL70 that my dad got from my uncle. My second bike was a '77 XR75 that my dad got from my same uncle when I was 8. I sold the XR to our neighbors kid when I was 19 for $125 & he destroyed it. It kill's me to this day that I got rid of it, especially now that I have a son. Other than that I've never sold any of my other bikes. I still have the '75 XL70 & plan on fixing it up for my boy when he gets a little older, he's a little over 1 now.

i actually regret selling all the old machines when i consider the amount of money i put into them.  i had a 95 yamaha warrior, 1998 banshee and a 2000 400ex, (think i have the years correct) and the amount of money in engine and chassis components i spent i could of had 5 laeger trx250rs.lol  its expensive to be a slow learner.haha

1. Alsport Tri-Sport with the factory CCW twin cyl 340cc.
At the time it felt like running a Top Fuel rail thru the woods. NO suspension, solid axle and light the rear tires at will, at any speed. Good times

2. 86 TRX250R that I bought new and then turbo charged that same year. Nothing like todays stuff, but in 86 it was bad azz. I kept the turbo kit I made for it so I could recreate it, but not sure it would be the same

I agree with zcarlson12, that cannondale is awesome! And it seems like there's a trend with the little dirt bikes being a regret. They are a ton of fun!!

First quad I ever rode was a 1987 kawasaki bayou 300.  My uncle bought it new. So I saved up all my money that I could and bought a 1985 suzuki quadsport 230. I paid my dues on that quad.  Then around 1993 I bought this 1987 kawasaki tecate 4.  I loved this quad.  My first taste of 2-stroke power!   The guy I bought it from originally purchased it to go ice fishing with!!!  It was really nice.  I sold it in 1996 after I purchased a brand new 1995 banshee.  I wish I had that one back.  I have bought 2 tecate 4's recently but they can't replace THAT ONE!!!
