Most atv owners have more than one ride.

My house has a stable of them. We recently bought a RZR Pro XP. I have had a 2006 Yamaha Rhino 660 for years. It is my workhorse around the house for plowing and landscaping, and hauling firewood. Just bought my son a 2014 Polaris Ace 325.

My Raptor is still my favorite though.

What does everyone else have?

Right now I have 07,18,19 Raptors, a Kfx450r, a Razor and a Yxz. Am selling the 07 tomorrow, trying to decide on keeping the 18 or selling it and buying a 21. Haven't really used the Razor since I got the Yxz, have been thinking about selling it for ski boat money for this summer :) My Raptors are by far my favorites, I just have the SxS's for the winter when it's too cold to ride.

I have an 05 Suzuki drz400 dual sport with 7k miles on it.
I plan to sell or trade it soon(my knees don't like it in the woods anymore)
I've had alot of sportbikes, dirtbikes, and 4wheelers over the years.
My 700 is a keeper.
Not sure what I'll get next either.
It would be another sportbike, but as I've said before, a friend of mine drives a truck and keeps his '18 gsxr1000r at my house since new, and I ride it like it's mine.
Hard to beat free, lol.

I have been downsizing a little as well. Sold the YZ250F last summer, my son was not happy on that one but I have others he can ride when he is around, lol.

Got this a couple weeks ago.
02 gsxr600 16,700 miles, original owner.
Been dropped on both sides(minor scratches only), no wrecks, no damage.
Has zero brakes, and runs good.
I've known about it for around a year, had a chance to get it for a great deal, and couldn't turn it down.
I am going to check/adjust the valves, check compression, sync throttle bodies, and have a BMC race air filter, Smart TRE, Smart fan switch, fork seals, grips, levers, sliders, clear windsheild, ss brake lines with new pads and MC rebuild kits, Engine Ice, 90 degree valve stems, an undertail, rebuild the steering dampner, and a handful of other parts to go on it.
Then a new set of tires, Dunlop Q3 or Q4's.
I will ride it for a while, then sell it for a small profit.
It's hard to find one owner sportbikes that haven't been abused, especially 600's.

04 ltz400 with a good amount of mods. That thing was an absolute beast. Loved the high revving nature and drive style. Way faster than all the 400ex's in our group.

2016 Arctic Cat 700xr xt esp (or something alphabet soup). 1st utility quad since I was a kid. Bought it for the wife. That was also a beast but in an entirely different way. That was the nicest riding and most comfortable atv I've ever been on. We called it the couch. Power steering and deceptively quick from a dig. Drivers race with all the 400ex's from a dig (got crushed from a roll).

08 ltz400 bought for the wife. Just put a ton of parts on it, only 2 of which were needed,, and have to rebuild carb real soon cuz float needle sticks. Might sell it after that as we have no need for it.

21 yxz ss se. Just bought a good amount of crap for it. New cage should be here in a week or two. Might powdercoat that hot pink lol. Sending the ecu/mcu out this wknd for a tune and some go fast goodies; nothing drastic. 4miles on the odo

Secretly looking for raptor 250's but the wife may actually kill me if I buy one...

That Yellow Suzuki would be a blast around here. I live 3 miles down a windy pit run gravel road. My driveway another winding 1/4 mile of sand and gravel. The ’95 Softail Custom, and ‘06 GSXR 1000 were sold just before my move to this place. The ‘16 Street Triple RX went away in July of 2021 and a week later I had my ‘18 Raptor 700 R SE.

Free shipping with buy it now on the Suzy? Lol! I think you’re near the mid Atlantic coast and I’m in the upper Midwest. Loooong road trip for a toy I don’t really need. As you most likely already know, K5/K6 GSXR 1000’s were pre cat and pre fly by wire traction and wheelie control, capable of 100 mph in first gear, stock, and mine had full aftermarket exhaust, high flow air filter and a PCV. The low end torque and wide power made it much more enjoyable to ride on the street than any inline 4 600 I ever swung a leg over.
