I'd give serious consideration to a Bombardier Rally. My brother has three, and I have ridden them extensively. They are much faster than anything else in the class, handle superbly, and are comfortable for good-sized adults. My brother is 6'2" and weighs about 210. I'm 6'5" tall and weigh 185.

They are truly amazing machines. He has had them for a year and hasn't had any kind of problem with any of them. They have tremendous ground clearance and rarely get stuck. I think they are the best kept secret in ATV's. The best part is that he paid about 2600 each, brand new. Had he bought them all at the same time, he might have gotten a better deal.

Of course, if you also want to use it for work, the AC is first in class. Can't go wrong with an AC, either.

Just my humble opinion.
dont ever buy a rally they are all plastic and chain drive. i dont think that would be something you would want for takeing on trips.

o and another thing is depends on what you want to do with the machine i would go with the AC over the Honda but if you want electic shift the honda has that. over all i like the AC the best because of the super low i have a LTF250f suzuki which is the same thing as the AC and this machine has treated me well

We've had the Rally to Hatfield McCoy and Coal Creek. It probably has 500 miles on it by now. Neither it nor my brother's other two Rally's have had a problem. The chain drive has not been a problem, either. There's no CV's to worry about and hardly any maintenance is necessary. The chain drive maximizes power to the wheels. The plastic has held up as well as any of our other machines. In fact, if you do have a problem with plastic, it is cheaper to replace than on any other machine I've seen.

He's even rolled the Rally down a hill, and it didn't break a thing. They are tougher than you might think by looking at them.

There's a couple of pics on my page. Click it and see.

Actually, the first time I looked at one I thought it was a joke, especially up close. But, when I rode it, I couldn't believe the power out of 175cc's. It is much quicker than a Recon, and the auto tranny is excellent.

I wasn't sure about lime green on that 650, either, but it has grown on me. I hope to have some pics of it doing its thing in the dirt soon.

That Chevy truck of yours is incredible! I'd say you need some pretty long ramps to load your quad into that one! I have a Silverado as well, but its 99% stock. I have 90,000 miles on it and love it as much as when new. I havn't even had to do its first brake job yet, and I tow and haul all the time.

the 250 2x4 is very realiable... i got a 01 250 2x4 and i have itp 589s on the back and it will go throught anything, ride up any hills, and will carry a lot of weight on its racks. the 250 2x4 is the greastest 250 2x4 ever

I have a Recon electric shift and when compared to an auto I wouldn't recommend the ES.
Should be called a PITA Shifter. (Pain In The A$$)
