Hello. I am looking for a new/used sport ATV for under $800. Here's what I NEED:

-CAN COMFORTABLY FIT A 14 Y/O MALE
-Reverse
-25MPH+ top speed
-the year 2000 or newer
-UNDER $800
-ability to go over terrains with lots of protruding tree roots (I'd be driving on trials that aren't used often).
-good suspension
-if available, online order & shipping
-if not available to ship, local to MN

What I WANT:
-Speedometer
-headlights
-AWD/ switch (toggle on/off)
-comfy seats
-good looks/design
-options to mount winch

Any options?

Well, I will tell you now, the only way you can get a sport quad for under $800 is if it is trashed and half the quad is broken. I doubt you want to spend a lot of time and a few hundred dollars in parts for the quad either.

For the main brands, I really dove you will find a quad for that cheep.

My only suggestion would be to buy a smaller, Chinese quad.

It won't be very sporty, but it will be in your price range.

That quad for $800 doesn't exist. The closest thing would probably be a Yamaha Wolverine 350 4x4. I have seen them in decent shape in the $1500 range. They were a foot shift semi auto and had full time 4x4 but warn made a kit to disconnect the front differential and make them part time 4x4 and most who owned them opted for that kit. So if you find a good used one, chances are it will have it. For $800, you might be able to find an older Yamaha Warrior. No 4wd on the Warrior but they do have reverse. Many opt for more aggressive rear tires and that helps a lot on a 2wd quad. Yamaha sold a ton of them so it should be easy to find several close to where you live.
