	Good thing about the muddys or the AGs is you can pick one up for under $500. A decent four stroke is a lot more expensive. There is a much of a muchness between the TF and the AG I could get the best in your price range. Both a bullet proof easy and cheap to fix.

	Yep! Honda CT's are easy to slide off, with that step-thru frame and are very quiet. The renowned, almost legendary, Wairarapa poacher Bruce S. used one very effectively for years, before he moved on to paua-poaching diving .

	Quote: Yep! Honda CT's are easy to slide off, with that step-thru frame and are very quiet. Having grown up as a kid riding CT 90s and a 110, and owning an AG cos I thought it was better along with a DR and others. They each have their good points. The DRs and AG were better if you were on it for longer periods where the CT was perfect if you were on and off repeatedly. The step through type gearbox with the centrifugal clutch meant you didn't need a clutch hand to get on and off. You simply let go the throttle and you have hands free. For hunting and gates I would get a CT every time. The only mechanisim better would be an automatic quad and they are too hard to throw over or under gates. The CT also had a spare fuel can mounted under the rear tray as well as the main tank under the seat. Sorry but my vote would have to be Go the CT for what you are wanting to do. The 90s had the hi low range and they were extremely reliable. The 110 we had did not have the hi / lo so I dont know if the new ones still do. They started making them in the 70s and they were still making them not long ago so the design is well tried and well proven.

	A quad... Carrying animals and gear on a motor bike really sucks. But if you insist... the good ole ag bikes are the go. Four stoke is a bit quieter and less smokey. Carriers are important. But i'd go for a quad any day.

	CT110 by a mile. Also called silent death http://www.fishnhunt.co.nz/forum/YaBB.cgi?num=1364635985/0#0 Honda stopped bringing in the ag models last year as they wern't selling (mainly as they were nearly 5 grand) but I think they are still bringing in the postie bikes. I have also seen that Honda have made a CC110 but who knows if it will get down yonder. http://motorcycle.cbt9.com/blogs/honda-to-local-market-cc110-cross-cub/ You would have to be a keen man to chuck a CT110 over a fence as they are over a 100kg! Theres even a CT forum! http://hondatrailcts.yuku.com/directory Not cheap though, even for a ex thrashed farm bike you are looking at 15 hundy! An old CT90 went for over 7 hundy on trade me this week.

	The only things i really need is water, a gun and rabbits.

Try walking an XR500 up a hill with a pig strapped to it

	I went for a TF125. Seems to be good value for money. If your new to bikes you will need to find a good place to practice riding in mixed terrain. I needed about 5-6 hours to get my confidence up to a good level. A light could be an important factor which farmbikes tend to have. Otherwise get a dirtbike and mount a MTB Led light to handlebars.

	My TF 185 hunting/farm bike just turned 41 years old. Only owned by 2 hunters its entire life. Last 20 years its worked most days. Its NEVER had any engine work done on it. Nada. Yes, a hundred wheel bearings, brake shoes etc, but the engine itself has never been opened. Try that on a 4 stroke!!!
