Default What sport quad to buy

I sold my KX 125 dirt bike a year ago and am looking to buy a sport quad to replace it. I plan on using it on trails, power lines, sand? and mud..basically I need a good all around sport quad. I'm 5'10" and 160 lbs. (23 yrs) and want something pretty fast for the open lines yet easy to control through tight trails. I am thinking something used in the 250-400 size. Ideally I'd like a 4 stroke. Questions: Which brand is best? Which model? Which is easiest for maintenance(my 2 stroke dirt bike needed too much work)? Is the 2 wheel v. 4 wheel drove option that important? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I am hoping to find one soon so I can start looking for places to ride in Virginia.

A Raptor 660r is a really good all around quad.

the trailblazer 500 is a good quad too...if you are wanting a 4 stroke that will do it all then this is a good quad...4x4, can mod it alot and for cheap from what I have read, sport machine, but the only thing is that it doesnt havea manual clutch...IF someone tells you bad stuff about belts dont listen to them...they very rarely ever slip. hope this helps
