The amount of hours isn't as important as the kind of abuse they may have suffered. If you are set on going used check them out well. Bushings, ball joints, U-joints, cv boots... the list goes on and on. Used atv's can end up costing you a sh!t ton of money. I work at a polaris shop and have seen people get sucked dry by used machines. The motors in newer 4 strokes hold up pretty good if they are well maintained.

Agreed, If it has very agressive oversized tires, Plan on a rear end rebuild in the hear furure, If it has a snorkle on it, Chances are its been beaten in the mud. It wont take long to look one over and get an idea of how its been maintaned.

Oh, and 80 hours is just getting broke in. the new Polaris atvs get their initial oil change at 25 hours, then every 50 after that.
