I'd also look at a Raptor 660 if you want a quad that is relatively cheap and fast. They don't cost much more than a 400ex but have quite a bit more power.

Ride time and experience are the best teachers. I've seen smaller folks on big utility machines. Most of the folks I've seen knew enough to not push the machine as hard as someone who has the weight to influence the quad.
Thanks for all the ideas guys.... i weigh 140. What would you recommend for me

Which ever one fits your riding style and comfort level. You will ride best on a machine that your comfortable with.
