I'm shy of 6' and go 277 (down from 305 in Sep.) '03 Warrior. Get's me up the hills, over the dunes and through the tracks just fine. Just stock for now as well. New tires to come shortly.

Bombardier DS650 Its the best quad out for big guys. Fastest stock quad with a great suspension. I love mine. I ride everything with it trails, dunes, mud, and love to make it fly. The engines are bulletproof and it comes set up with a suspension and extended axle and a-arms that with other quads you have to pay more for.
