I`m about to purchase my firsy atv. Plan on using it mostly for hunting upatate NY as well as some trail riding.Right now I`m a little undecided btn a Big Bear 400 for $4000 or a recon for about $3400. These are new vehicles and the budget I have set is $4k for a max.BTW I`m 6`5 and about 235 . Both vehicles felt ok as far as size. Any onput would be greatly appreciated..TIA

 

I am a happy Recon owner and it is a great machine but for your size and going hunting I would get the Big Bear.More power and more room to haul out deer.

 

go with the big bear.....is it a rear wheel drive and not 4x4 for 4000 ??? its a great machine u wil love it

 

Is that price sound for a new 2000 ?

 

I own a Recon it as great quad. The big bear is good also. I would recommend a big bear due to your size, it will give you more power. The big bear is worth the extra $600 you get 170+cc more motor.

Big Bear has more rack capacity than the Recon.

 

get the big bear my dad has a 99 350 4x4 big bear and it a good fourwheeler and it will mud good i never been stuck on it but he dont let me drive it and when i do is when he dont know . it hs never been broke any. i have not the new big bears i bet there even better what i do kow they dont go to fast .
