340 for the kid?

Ryeser · 07-03-2009, 08:23 AM

Anyone looking to rid themselves of a 340? I am wanting to buy something around a 99 or newer for my son. We sold his 120 this year and now he wants a bit more of a challenge.

Thanks!

i would get him a 550 fan rmk he will be able to use it a lot longer and ride with you in the mountains

have to agree with papajake on this one rye. 340 will be fun for about 2 days then he'll be lookin for more. how old is he? my boy rides my 670,better than me probably, loves it just gotta be there to make sure he doesn't get to crazy. but at least if you get them a bigger one to start your not looking again next year.

Thanks Guys for the input, but my son is 9 and he is very small for his age. We tried a 500 fan back in the spring and he had a really tough time turning it. He will not be going to the mountains for sometime (a few years) and I want him to be abe to gain confidence slowly as he is not like his father (3/4 crazy and 1/4 stupid). I will stick to a smaller machine as he will just be bombing around the acreage and a few small trails.

Thanks again!

morning Ryser........ I have a 340 indy lite that my kids are too big for now. it has the typical ( oops ) "sorry dad but that tree just would'nt move look "....... so other than some slight damage, it runs real nice

I got 800 for my kid, you just need to find the right buyer.

I've got a yammy 440 You can have for nothing in the back bush.
You just have to fix all the damage You did to it.
After all it was the one that got you started on Your road to destruction .

: ha_ha:

Ha ! Ha ! Ha !
But seriously if you are interested maybe We could get it running for Him.

A step up from the 120 would be a Dragon 700. It will be a little more tamer than a 340 but still keep your son happy for a while.

....... wait... i have a dragon!

goes like stink just for the record...

back to topic:

Ryeser, if you get him a 340, just make sure you're certain he won't outgrow it in a winter.

powerteker · 07-08-2009, 06:31 PM

this is just my opinion but when I was that age my family had a 440 I wouldn't go any smaller than that. anything smaller gets old fast

Ryeser · 07-08-2009, 10:12 PM

Thanks for the advice, but those who know me and my kid, know that we are 4 foot nothing, and will take quite a few hot summers to have my son grow, (out grow) a 340. Too much Whiskey and not enough water in our family tree! stunted The Rye growth.

Still looking for a 340 lite.

Thanks!
