Hi, I'm new to the forum, and kind of new to ATV's. I've ridden a few sport quads 300-360's, and my dad's polaris 300 4x4 (whimp quad) ... Here is what I'm looking to use it for...

- Plow my 420' driveway
- Work around the property pulling, towing, dragging
- off road trail riding in the mountains, woods, etc
- sport riding on flat lands, power sliding the corners, blasting acceleration, wheelies, etc

I'm 39 and have been riding dirt bikes, go-carts, fast cars, and sportbikes all my life.. I own a '69 BB vette, and 02 Suzuki Hayabusa ... so as you can imagine I love speed and power....

So what do you guys think? Any and all opinions would be greatly appreciated!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Kawasaki V-Force? That is if they make a Plow mount for them. If you need 4wd then go with a Honda Rincon.

 

Yes.. I really would like 4x4..... I've gotten stuck 3 times on my brothers Yamaha sport quad.... If it would have had 4 wheel drive, it would have been a piece of cake.

So yes..deffinately 4x4!

 

praire 650/700

 

New Sportsman 700EFI....
Definitley that way to go!!

But overall best thing to do, Test drive a few your Interested in!
Good Luck!

 

I would agree with Bing on this one going by your post.

I would visit your local Kawasaki dealer and sit on one because you might not even like the feel, who knows. Then I would hang out in the Kawasaki forums and see what other owners have said.

If your not in a hurry I would take the time to read the different forums because opinions vary on each brand.

Right now though I feel like the Praire is the sportiest 4x4 / work quad.

For uses that you stated I would also have to agree on the Prarie. It is more of a sport/utility, the sportsman is more of a utility/sport. 1 place where the sp will be better is the softer seat and ride.

 

How about the Suzuki Twin peaks? Its the exact same as the Prairie 700 but available in sportier colors..................[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

i would have to agree with everyone who pick the prairie 650 or 700

 

Just from what I had read on a few web sites.. I was leaning towards the Prairie 650/700.... I was curious to read that the Suzuki twin peaks was basically the same machine.. ?? That adds another possibility... What about the Suzuki Vison? I've read a couple of reviews that said that it was a sportier 4x4 ATV then the bigger bore bikes... but my concern is does it have the hussle fun factor that the bigger bikes have?
Anybody ridden / own one of the Visons want to jump in with their feedback?

Thanks again!!
