Default 6'2" 350lbs - Recommended ATV

Hey Guys,
Looking for a recommendation for an ATV. My size may be a little deceiving, but I like to run hard with the big boys.

I know of could get a big utility ATV, but are there options in the sport ATV ranks? Is it possible to add a heavy duty spring option to something in the 500 cc range and accomodate my size?

Any assistance would be appreciated

Goose

Check out a Raptor 660 or a DS 650 or perhaps a Predator 500.

I'm a big guy too and I just got a KFX400 so maybe you want to look at the z-400 too.

The Ds650, KFX700 and Raptor are good choices. I went with the Ds650 and don't have any regrets, I'm 6'2" also.

In stock form I think you would be happy with the DS650 due to its physical size being better for a larger rider and its suspension having the most travel of any stock machine I know of.

If your planning on modding what you get you can find a model that you like the power and ergo's etc and just order in some aftermarket shocks that are properly set up for your weight, and this would most likely be your best bet even if you decided on the DS.

hope that helps

I'm 6'2 and over 200lbs and my DS rocks. It's one of the only sport quads that didn't feel too small.
