I am thinking about buying a Recon for my girlfriend. I will be buying either a Rancher or the Foreman 4X4. Would this be a good machine for her, or should I try to find her a 4x4 too. This will be her first ATV, and money is a factor. Thanks for your info.

 

If money is a factor you'll not regret the Recon, however, this is off topic and may be out of line but, that is a rather expensive gift for a girlfriend.

I had a Recon and wish that I would have been able to keep it for my wife, but oh well.

 

I bought two last year,one for my wife and one for me. It's a great little bike. My Daughters both ride it also.
Other than playing in the mud or heavy work I see no need for 4x4. We've never needed it.
BTW I got a new Rancher ES Saturday,Like someone on this forum said "a Recon on steroids".

 

HaHaHa,
I had to take a double take on the title.
I thought it said "Recon or Girlfriend"
I'm still laughing.

Both of us must need eye check ups Dusty, I thought the same thing myself... it would be a hard choice if that was the case....hahahah

 

The 300 recon is one of the lightest 4x4 in the 300 range which should make it easy to handle and is a good choice.

 

a 300 recon??? gee never heard of that one.....

I had a recon befor I got my 450, man they are a fun little bike I would strongly recomend a 250 Recon, if your are thinkin about a 4x4 I would look at the new 350 rancher.

Just givin ya a hard time tim1

 

Yes your right I was thinking of a Fourtrax it sure looks like a Recon.

 

Hey Dusty I did the same thing too I thought it said Girlfriend or Recon

Hehe

 

Don't take offense at my suggestion, but I would be sure to register which ever one you get in your name. Girl friends & boyfriends come & go, but registrations are forever. I know of a case where the guy bought two Blasters, one for him & one for her. They split up a month later. He had taken the dealer's advice & registered them both in his name.
