Re: \'87 Yamaha Big Bear
well alot has changed on the Bigbear since 87...a 87 is one of the 1st Bigbears I believe then in the early 90s they updated them they were a good solid machine but lacked suspension travel and ground clearence...then in 96 Yamaha came out with a new version of the BigBear wich was a awsome machine it was still a 350 but now looked better rode bettter and handled alot better plus the 350 now had alot of the same parts as the wolverine...the 96-99 models had 5.9 suspension travel and 9.6 ground clearence...the 87-96 was like 3.9 suspension travel and 6.8 ground clearence...now for the 2000 year the Bigbear is a 400 with the same engine as the old kodiac but it still has the same suspension as the 96-99 Bigbears...but anyway just a little info on what has changed since the 87 models...but if the 87 your looking at is a 4x4 and is in good shape its well worth 2000 as long is its been maintained good and hasnt been beat to hard it should last a good long time and will be a great work machine and will also go just about anywhere you want it to...but anyway good luck and I think through past experiance the BigBear is a great machine and I would go for it...
