Hi guys i recently got into atvs and i am planning to buy one. To start off im a male 6'0 and 200 pounds. Ive only ridden an atv once a few weeks back and i loved it so i had a few questions. First off, are 450-500 cc atvs (sport or utility,doesnt matter) too much for a beginner like me. Second would a sport quad be too small on me and third, well what are your suggestions?(again sport or utility ill take either one) Thank you. (please dont suggest something like a Renegade 1000 or rap 700 cuz ik i cant handle that from personal experience )

 

what's the budget?
what kind of riding?
what state do you live in?

 

you should be fine with a utility 500 just be careful and always were a helmet but if you get a sport like a 400ex your not too big but they are more dangerous than utilitys

 

I would much rather roll a sport quad on me instead of a utility, other than that, I agree with what you say. Any 500 utility, 350 warrior, 400 ex or a ltz400 would be fine size wise.

 

a 6' guy on a 350?

his knees will be in his chest!

 

Well i ride with my friends on trails but there is a really good track where i live so we go there sometimes too. My budget ...i would say anything up to 6-6.5 k and i am currently in Europe. I haven't sat on any raptor or yfz450 and so on so i dont know if they are too small on me, and also i wanted your guys' opinion on a polaris 525

 

I had a outlaw 525 with the Ktm motor and it would keep up with raptor 660 I sold it because it had a lot more than what I needed

 

so a trx450r is a no?

 

That would probably be good it has a top speed of 70-80mph

 

Raptor 350's are smaller than my warrior by quite a bit, that's why I said a warrior. I am almost 6' and have no problem on mine.
