FOR WHAT YOU ARE DESCRIBING I'D GO W/ A POLARIS SPORTSMAN X2 500 EFI A GREAT 2UP ATV.

 

Sorry to be stupid but what does 2up atv mean?

 

It means designed for 2 people to seat on. Acrtic Cat and Polaris make them, could be others do by now also.

".i will use for light trails, rec. rideing, and hunting "

My old 89 Yamaha 350 could and still does that. LOL

Seriously any ATV will satisfy that part of it you want.

 

AN ATV DESIGNED FOR 2 PEOPLE TO RIDE LEAGL'Y!

 

And comfortably.

 

took a quick look at polaris and artic cat defintly like the (look) of the polaris better.it doesnt have to be a two seater just (fit) both of us for a few rides until i get mad and knock her off[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Any large framed ATV have larger seats, they usually have the full size frames at 500cc. Some companies like Arctic Cat have full size frames on there 400cc ATVs. You can tell on the show room floor when they are beside each other the ones that have full size frames.

 

I use to ride Polaris was a great machine until I rode a Arctic cat. I bought a 700 TRV (2up). I love it. With the AC you become part of the machine. With Polaris You seem to ride on top of it. Go to your dealer give one a try ...you would not regret it.

 

I ride Polaris, got 3 of them. I love them all however I wouldnt rule out another brand if it had the options I was looking for. My Sportsman 500 is awesome my girlfriend and I ride on it all the time together and it does just fine most of the time we also take the dog along with us and we still all fit. She has her own but if we were to always ride together I would opt for the X2 in whatever size suits your likings. Check out the Polaris forum for comments and suggestions. In my opinion I'd go check out them all and see what feels best. Don't just look @ them on the floor ask to take a test ride, if they refuse tell them your taking your business elsewhere most dealers will let you. Good Luck and Have Fun!!!!!!!
