boy, couple bucks more you could get a two seat buggy with a frame and suspension that will really last... after running a Honda Oddysey for 20 years I can't be impartial. What moto they runnin and what drive train? And the big question, quando dinaro?

[JetBoatRich]

Sandblasted bought something like those and nothing but problems with parts breaking :hammerhea cheapo is not always a good thing :wink:

So why don't you spend $1500 on a nice little baja bug then take the extra $1000 left over and beef the suspension up a little more. It'll be some of the most fun you have ever had with $2500.

Great for a kid. I'm sure you'll get tired of it real quick, then take a bath on it trying to sell it.

Already have a Wrangler...being stuck in the back seat of a bug sucks...but it was on my list before we got the Jeep.
I think Bohica's right about this though.....
Now I am thinking Rhino Power!

Thats the only thing you could do.....That thing probably goes as fast as a tugboat.

The only place those things are good for are dry lake beds. Anything softer and you'll go nowhere fast! You'd be better off buying a used Honda Pilot.

just drop a turboed busa motor then you are talking,

Well there ya' go!! There's your answer! :hammer2:

Lol.... ;)

I drove both, the 150 and the 250. His place is over at the Landing. Both are R E A L fun. I took the 250 doing jumps, 180's, 360's, and it took all of it pretty good. I'm 6'3" and 240 and wasn't cramped in it. The 150 wasn't any slouch either. We had two of use big guys in it and were still able to do 35mph (we are "big boys" too, close to 500 lbs).
They are way better then the ones you see at Pep Boys. You will need to check the bolts for the first few runs, but they seem to be built pretty good!
I will be getting one of the 250's when the next batch comes in. He only had one 250 left and we were pretty much using it for a demo.
