i can pick one up for 500 runs good,but my question is am i just throwing my money awya with this?should i just save for a 400ex?500 is sounding good right now instead of 3000

 

Dude, I don't know how stuntable they are, but they are really rare, and really sweet quads. I would kill to find a deal like that.

If all the pieces are there and nothing seriously is wrong with it, you'd be crazy not to swipe it up. A complete Tecate in good shape will easily fetch $3000 to the right person.

Man, the parts alone on that thing are worth WAY more than $500....lots of guys restoring old quads and trikes.

Nice find bro.

he just spent a g on the engine,its all brand new,just need a few nuts and bolts to be finished,maybe ill buy it and throw it on ebay

 

Lanphear's got it right man. Buy it, FAST. Because even if you don't want it you can definately make money on it.

It probably is actually pretty stuntable. The geometry of that frame is short, which would make it a good stunt bike, however it's a 2 stroke, so it would be more difficult to stunt, especially at lower speeds. I'd bet that it's easier to stunt than a Banshee though.

 

i never even heard of one before. what the hell are they?

buy it, sell it on ebay & then buy a 400ex. everyone wins!

 

tecate is a 250r basically. 2 stroke 36hp from the factory. Parts are really rare and expensive since they didnt sell as good as 250r's did. There was a 3 wheeler version and a four wheeler. Im pretty sure the mojave was the baby of the tecate since alot of the parts are interchangable other then the little 250 4 stroke power plant. That green quad down brockton pits with the kx500 motor was a tecate you seen it. 1000 cee cee the raptor is in the want ad's. I want a yz250 and a stunt bike I will never buy a quad again.

 

oh word - that was a mean machine. Whats this no more quad stuff from Mr. Quad goon himself? Buy a 400ex, a stunt bike & a stunt dirt bike. best of all worlds dawg!

lemme see the ad you wrote for ur raptor, something like this? hahah:

2001 Yamaha Raptor Swingset
Blue. Beaten. Bent frame. Beaten. New Motor. Beaten. Bent everything. Beaten. Must be seen. Priced to sell.
$500.00

 

cool,i used to have 2 honda 250rs,a 86 and a 88,but when i had them i never did try and stunt them,the only atv ive stunted is the new 2003 kawaski 400,them 4 strokes are the ****,def loft the wheel alot simpler then the old 2 strokes,but im gonna pick it up today and ill post a picture

 

tecates are NICE fourwheelers, my friend has one and I rode it a couple of times, the front end is real light, you can walk it in about every gear, and thats pretty immpressive for a 250! it has plenty of power. ****** it up dude, especially for 500 bucks!

peace

 

i was gonna pick it up and the kid aint home,hope i get it towmorrow then ill take a picture and post it,im thinking of just keeping it now,for 500 i guess i cant go wrong,better then spending 3,000 on a 400ex

 

buy the 400ex and you be stunting like the boy,befour ypu no it
