The trailboss sounds like it may do the trick if I can find a good deal. Are these four wheel drive or 2x4s? What else can you guys tell me about them (likes/dislikes)? Thanks.

it is 2wd, wide, stable, struts in the front, very tame power curve, automatic CVT to chain drive in the rear, 4 wheel disc brakes.

It is basicly a good, safe, reliable bike,,,that is very rider friendly.

push the button to go,,,,,pull the lever to stop.

It is a fairly good sized bike that can hancle the bigger people as well.

I kept my old 350 4x4 Big Bear on my farm for other people to ride. Not the most glamorous machine around, but it just won't die. Might look for a mid to late 90's Bear - they don't cost all that much.

You should be able to pick up a lightly used Scrambler 500 4x4 between 3 and 4000. Great bike, lots of power and great suspension, True 4x4.
As far as too much power, No way, I found it easier for my wife to drive our scrambler over our 250 trailblazer. Much smother ride and it has the power and 4x4 to get you OUT of trouble.
