I am trying to decide on my next used atv purchase. I currently own a 2009 yamaha wolverine and it rides a bit rough. I find it gives me lower back pain and pain in the wrists. the trails I ride on have a lot of roots and rocks. I want something with a good blend of handling and comfort.
do I go smaller and lighter like a 2010-2015 honda 400ex maybe ugrade the shocks, or do I go with something like a yamaha grizzly 450 with irs and power steering. they are complety different quads I know. another choice is the honda trx700 with IRS. Are there any good options out there. I used to ride a 2001 warrior 350 about a year ago and don't remember the back pain. so I wasn't sure if the wolverine being bigger was the bulk of the issue.
