    Need Advice: mint 83 200s or beat up but freshly rebuilt 86 suzuki lt230

    Hi guys i cant seem to make the decision myself. The 83 atc 200 is in really nice condition and only needs a coil to run. which i have an extra coil for it if i baught the bike. the guy wont go any lower then 500. Secondly i found a 86 suzuki lt230, fresh top-end runs and drive great but the plastics are broken and looks well used. I phoned the guy and got him down to 500 for the suzuki.

    What should i do??

    heres some pic's of the bikes

    I would say the 200 also. Just because they are so simple and reliable. And because its in great shape.

    Looks good.

    I see he hinged that rack, so you can still access the trunk.
