I want to get a newer used Sport Quad but it has to have Reverse. I will use it on my ranch and reverse is a must. I think I am leaning towards something from around 2000 and newer.

Any and all input is much appreciated and I wouldnt mind hearing what the pluses and minuses are for each quad and what to look out for reliability wise.

Thanks,

Joe

 

the yamaha raptor and polaris predator would be worth looking at

 

KFX/Z 400

 

raptor 700

 

Look at the yahoo's just throwing out makes and models at you and not one of them has a clue why the hell you would be using a sport quad on the ranch. To help you make an educated decision, we would need a bit more info on how you would be using it, the terrain, etc. You ain't hooking up a wagon to any of the quads mentioned and feeding the cows, yanking stumps, or mending fence, that's for dam sure.

 

yeah I would say the rappy or pred but pred offers much more than a rappy of the showroom floor
but is the same in speed.

 

Opps I was talking about the 660 the 700 is faster the the pred
but pred le is the best quad if you're not trying to speen anymoe money
they are very expensive to modify from what I was told not sure if the is true or not.

 

I will vote this way, also.

 

i think the very best all condition sport quad for a VERY resonable price is the KFX/Suzuki Quad Racer 400. however, since your looking at a used quad at 2000 and above, the 2005 Honda 400EX's have reverse and a very stout bullet proof motor. the predator comes with the most out of the box, and my personal favorite, though a tad bit expensive. then you have the Yamaha Raptor 700 which is new for 2006, at a steep $7300 (in my opinion steep)

for putsing around and opening up every now and then, but basicly servaying your property several hundred times a week, i would look at the Suzuki QuadRacer 400

 

Pred is my pick. I would have to say that a KFX/Z/DVX would not be a bad choice either
