Default Buying my first quad!

I am looking to buy my first quad. I dont have much experience but i ride my polaris sportsman 700 all the time. I moslt ride on long dirt roads going WOT or close to it. Once in a while we will ride corn feilds. I want your guys input on what kinda quad would be the best for my style of riding?

Would depend on how much money you're willing to spend.

If your foolish enough to constantly ride at wot on roadways you need to learn some safety rules before getting another quad. Anyone constantly riding at wot is asking for trouble for himself and hurting others in the process. When you flip that thing and seriously hurt yourself who is going to be stuck with all your medical bills?

Not sure what you could get for that much that would be any faster than the Polaris 700.

You might be able to find an older 400 sport quad for that price. I haven't looked at any prices lately.

I think your riding it. Though, I'm not a Polaris fan, they are pretty quick and ride nice. If yours is reliable and doesn't try to catch fire, like the one I had, haha.

Sounds like you'd be better off with a sports quad honestly
