Well the title tells it all. This is for my wife with some use by me for some odd and end chores. Nothing heavy duty but mostly trail use. Any opinions welcome. Oh and if anybody has an opinion whether or not reverse is a big issue on a sport quad for trail and track. I know these are open questions but the more opinions the better. Thanks Mike R.

Well I know this may sound stupid but my wife is not really into the mechanics of the machines. Thats my department. But she likes the color blue. And that is all that matters to her. Now saying that I dont want her to sound like a ditz because she is not. All she cares about is getting on it and going. All other factors equal she doesnt care. But since the honda is not offered in blue it is out of the question. Thanks for the reply though. Mike R

Not sure if yellow is an option but we will see. On a lighter note I think I have decided on a Predator for myself. Waiting for an 04 model though. Sept Im told by the local dealer. Thanks for the replys. Mike R

She has no desire for a sport quad. I wish she did. She wants a "beasty looking" quad. Her quote. Shes more the truck girl than a sports car. She is just really into the tough looking utility quads. I kinda like them too but I like sporty and fast. Yea well the search goes on.

I highly recomend the 500HO. We have owned five as a family (2000, 2 - 2001 and 2 - 2002s) and all have been excellent machines.
