Default buying an atv

I was wondering if you could help me decide what mid-sized(300-450) atv is right for me.I do alot of riding on dirt roads,trails,big hills,and mud.So I need something that is kind of fast,good at hill-climbing,good in the mud,and has a good suspension.I don't do alot of towing but sometimes I tow trees,logs,limbs, and trailers.

Any advice would help.

Go with the Suzuki Eiger, you won't regret it.

I like the Yamaha Kodiak 450. Auto tranny and plenty of power and 4wd.

Really? Its only won all the shootouts its been in. Hard to win those when you have a bad 4x4 system, your talking about Suzuki "they invented the quad".

You might want to look at the wolverine. That is a more sporty 4x4. A scrambler 4x4 might work good for you too.

I agree with Aken, I didn't even think about those two for some reason. My bro has a Scrambler 2x4 and it can go almost anywhere. Imagine what it could do with 4wd. Wolverine doesn't have the same amount of power, but it does just fine. There are a whole lot of choices in this category.

Actually out of what you said, rebalbayouman, the Scrambler would be just about perfect. Needs to be FAST, good at mud and hillclimbing, and good suspension. And you don't have to shift either![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I mud about everytime I ride and ride it pretty hard but I do maintanence about every 400 miles, and the 4wd works perfect! I ride with a grizzly and he has to move back and forth to engage his 4wd and All i do is switch my lever and its in right then. My Eiger has been a great machine and has plenty of power to offer in a 400cc class, you wont go wrong!
