Default Big guy looking for a Big Quad

I am looking for a new quad, I have been out of the quad scene for about 5 years, I think the 400ex was just coming out when I bought mine. I was looking at the new grizzly or the wolverine. But I am open to just about anyhting as long as it is a trusted name brand. I am 6'4" about 375lbs so I need something that is going to handle a rider that big. I want to keep it under $6000 OTD

Features I feel are must have
450cc or above 4 stroke
IRS, push button 4wd
I think I can swing a good deal on a grizzley 660 or possibly a used one.

Let me know what you guys think. I am going to buy soon. I really liked the honda's from back in the day, but they don't seem to sit up in the air like the yamaha's. I want a tall beefy style quad. I saw some suzuki's that were nice to but I don't really know much about them.

I really like my Grizzly 660. It's a good straight forward bike with plenty of power, great ride, and good handling. There is a boatload of accessories available for the Grizzly also. You might also be able to find a killer deal on a leftover 2006 or even a 2007 since the 700 Grizzly is the hot utility quad right now.

Kawasaki Brute Force 650 is a really nice quad, and has a really nice price tag too. Go test drive one, and then take it home [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Grizzly or Arctic Cat. The AC is about as big as a quad gets,with the most ground clearance, but its also heavy. I have one, and have had many bags of concrete, and me on it and it handles it fine. They are very strongly built, have the push button 4x4, and can pull a house

I have a place that has a used 05 model for $5000 for a grizzley 660. It is at a dealer so They would have to Get a little more aggressive I am thinking $4759 out the door would get me to buyt it. Do you get a title for a quad.

What about a fuel injected model, I was wondering how well it works in the quads, I could see it being a big imrovement, or a big PIA. I am liking the kawasaki, what would be a good out the door price on a brute force 650.

Also I can get a 400ex for about $2200 it's a very nice 2004 that needs tires. Still trying to decide what would be the best deal.

The shop down the street from me has the 2007 Kawai BF650 4x4 SRA for $5799 plus tax. The tax would take it up to about $6200 (7% sales tax here). Not sure what kind of pricing you can find around you, but this price also includes the $300 kawai incentive.

best I can get around here is $6200 on the Kaw, I found a 05 grizzley 660 for $5k at a dealer. I am thinking about going to get it..... I just wish the 660 had EFI. I might wait to find something with EFI. 5K is really all the budget allows right now.
