An Suzuki lt125. The first 4-wheel ATV made. In 1982, Suzuki decided to do something crazy and double the front wheels. It has no suspension except the tires, and is rw d only. And it still matches our red color scheme, which was the only color available from the factory.

This particular old rig belonged to my grandfather, who was a farmer and used it to get around and move irrigation pipes. After he died, it was relegated simply to grandkid joy rides. I put m any hours on this thing myself. Then my grandmother died and it basically sat in storage for about 15 years.

I remember when these were released big arguments at the school lunch table if 3 or 4 wheels were better. The 60 minutes got involved.

T hat must have been a disappointment for those on the 3 wheel side when they were banned within the decade.

One of my friends growing up had one of these. I just remember that it would not turn unless you put your weight on the handlebars. My smaller Yamaha handled way better. My grandpa had the 250 version of this on his farm.
