Yes, I have the same thoughts: the AT sounds best but the darn need for speed and racing thing really gets me. I REALLY liked the power and speed of the Polaris, it's just the maintenace issue and I don't know if I'd like how it rides...I really liked my Rancher. It was very sturdy, not tippy at all and would do whatever I wanted to barring winning any drag races. It would be nice to be able to actually be in a drag and not eat all that dirt. Guess I'm just going to have to do some soul searching!

 

I think you should get a 300ex or a 400ex.

 

I agree with TrailblazerGuy.
For your size, the 300ex looks good on paper (proportionate).
But with your experience, the 300 will not have enough power for you.
I think the 400 ex or z400 would be a good way to go (however I would not normally recommend a 400 to a 108lb person), but you shouldnt have any trouble.
They will all be a breeze to operate considering you normally throw big ute's around.

 

You would probrably like a Scrambler as well.

As far as the maintenance on the scrammy, it is a little different(engineered differently), but no big deal. Julie, Myself and every one of my friends has put a lickin on our '02 Scrammy,,,and it is very tough. Its been flipped numerous times,,,with minimal damage. (when I thought it was going to be totaled). I have been riding the scrammy as my raptor is needing repairs.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

like im trying to say!! once you get on a sport and take it around the track you wont want a utility! well thats just me atleast...

 

hey if your into going mudding,racing,and all around performance i would suggest a wolverine 350. Its got all time 4x4 a six speed i believe,and the worrior 350, a very easy to mod bike, its also got reverse and its not to heavy. Although i hear that in 2005 they are coming out with the 400 or 450 wolverine i dunno witch it is. I was considering one but i went with the z400. But all this is coming from a guy with a winch on his z400.

 

fmxc has hit it right on the money,once you ride a sport all the utilitys feel like your riding a moped with bad spark plugs.

 

oh i forgot the wolverine costs $5199

 

yea how top heavy ya are can make a huge difference[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

ATVGurl- What does "Mine" (of Me & Mine) think you should get?
