I want to buy a used 4-wheeler '95-'99 and I have no Idea what to buy. I want to have speed, yet power to take on the trails. I want reliability. I am about 5'10" and 140lbs.

I would maybe consider a Yamaha Warrior, There are a ton of after market parts available and they are easy to maintain. Very reliable and have a great reputation.
Alot of fun for woods & trail riding. You can even get a rack & light duty tow hitch for the back incase you would ever need to haul stuff.

First off you will want to determine what type of riding you will be doing most of the time. Open trails, sand, tight trails is tough teraine. That will lead you to the correct type of bike.

Then make sure that you have a lgood local dealer that will be able to help you out when it breaks! And it will break! A good dealer is priceless.

Personally I run a Honda 300 EX. I have a full rear rack on it. I do all sorts of running from sand to tight mountain trails that can be a real challenge for a manual clutch bike. But I love it and it fits my style and is certainly fast enough for most of my running!

Only in the sand do I long for that two stroke scream! But for that I still have my 250r trike!

Yeee Hawwww!!!
