o yeah...and what kind of trails are u going to be riding

 

One thing to keep in mind is dont EVER believe any of the magazine tests.I have found most of them to be total BS.Go where folks are ridding and look and ask questions.

 

i like my beartracker, its a fun little machine for just playing, but the ride is horrible, and as someone mentioned they wear out fast and feal cheap.

Phil,
I agree...If I had $5,000 just hanging around..I would have this problem.....hahahah
Maybe I will have to wait and see if uncle sam gives me some more of MY money back next spring..

 

I doubt anything to "serious"...hahaha

Just somethign to get us around.... maybe a few MI state parks or something...but nothing to big...

i have a 250ex as a second quad and everyone that rides it agrees that its a really fun bike, comes in semi-auto so u dont have to be in the clutch dilema as much

 

Yeah, I'm looking for something for my wife too and don't have lots of money. I ride in some rough stuff and I've only had to put my machine in 4-wheel drive a few times. Yes it would be nice to have it but as long as you ride with your husband he can always pull you out if you ever get into trouble which I doubt you will unless you like riding in mud. A 2x4 is much cheaper and will probably go anywhere you dare. I wouldn't go as far as getting a sport ATV though because the lack of ground clearance will hurt you more than anything.

If you're like me it's not a matter of what you get but how much you have to spend and at this time you don't have much at all. Hang in there, I'd like to get my wife on the trails too but we'll have to wait for good ole uncle sam too.

Good luck,

Phil

 

Phil...agreed....maybe we should wait..... for uncle sam...hahahah

and second....

don't you mean...... " when husband is riding he should be behind ME, so I can pull HIM out."....


This scenario would be much more pleasant in MY opinion...<grin>
but I am also a realist...and see that I will be the one riding the "smaller" machine....hahah
unless I can "outbuy" his kodiak.....lol...
Now there is an IDEA !!

 

the bear tracker is a nice quad and you can pick them up for under 2 K used. its 2x4 and is a 250. but it does great almost anyware. hope it helps
