Default What to buy?

I am looking into getting a new 4 wheeler. There are so many to choose from.
I want to get the best one I can get. Top of the line in performance, best looks and one that wont break down all the time.
Money isnt a problem since I have good credit.

What do you guys recommend?

I want one no smaller than a 660. The primary use of this ATV will be trail riding. NOT mud bogging or racing although I would like one that can get through mud real nice and one that is not slow.

Thanks for your help.

Get a raptor, great for trail riding, and plenty of torque and power to get through mud.

Actually, I am more into the powerhorse machines like Sportsman, Grizzly and such.

I have a YFZ450. Brand new.

But i am interested in 4 wheel drive.

Yeah, the prarie sounds good for you, but i dont find anything wrong with the handling or stableness of the brute and im sure if you added some offsets or spacers it would be as stable as any other quad out there. I say go with the brute but you cant go wrong with either.

My friends dad has a brute force and I love its a tank that thing will go threw any thing you tell it to it has alot of power it has more horse power than my preditor its pushin 60 horse power its really fast too if u get left behind you can definitly catch up and you'll be the one pullin every one out of the mud. Yes they are a little narrow but some wheel spacers will fix that but for trail riding,pit riding, and mud I think thats you best choise.

Why do you beleive you need a 660 or larger. Even a 500 has more than enough power to go places you probably shouldnt.
I would admit the 400s start to get a little light and are not very rugged feeling - but the biggy-sized quads - well, they are a little over the top IMO. A lot easier to get into trouble with also.

Just curious....

Get the Wolverine, It is a great trail bike, its like and it gets through alot of stuff. JUST CLICK THE CAMERA UNDERNEATH MY NAME ON THE SIDE OF THE PAGE TO SEE SOME PICS OF MY WOLVERINE. Also if you looking for something bigger id go with either the older 650 prairie or the new 700.

Maybe he is a big guy 'WhoDatInDaMud'. Although 660+ might be alot for trail riding. I'd get a raptor though, good, but a bit top heavy.
