I have a 2001 Sportsman 500 right now but its junk---keep having problems with it. Its a good machine maybe I just got a bad one. Anyways I can spend from about $4500 to $6000 for a new or used machine. I want at least a 400cc. Its mainly for hunting some serious trails in AK. I like having extra power though too. I want the most reliable thing I can buy. I keep hearing bad things about Grizzlys and I was going to buy a 2002 but may not now. Also may look into the Kodiak 450----is it quicker than a 400?---any help would be great---Dave

 

bump for help

 

Have you tried a Prairie 650 or 700? Low center of gravity, will satisfy your quickness question in a hurry.

 

scroder,

What about the Artic Cat 400? Nice ride, real reliable and it keeps up with my Kodiak450 on those real rough AK trails. I see your still hunting for that perfect quad? Good Luck.

AlaskaBoy.

 

The Kodiak 450 is probably a good choice. Have you looked at any Suzuki Vinson 500s? They run about the same price and are pretty sporty.

 

RUBICON!!!! :-D

 

thanks for the help---I think Im gonna start looking at the Kodiak 450s---sound like good machines---Dave

 

ill sell u my kodiak

Well, that didn't work. When you click on the first emotion icon it was supposed to show a pic. But it didn't so I'm done. Have a great day![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Please don't forget to tip your waiter or waitress on your way out. Thanks for coming.
