It is none of my business, but have you considered taking the money ($7500) and investing in two quads so your girlfriend does not have to ride on the back? It is a whole lot more fun to drive than ride. She will thank you for it!!

 

DavEvil, I've got a feeling that if you'd decide to buy her an ATV she would be looking for a ring some time in the future. Some how two machines and a ring seems a little to pricy. By the box!

 

Well, I practice what I preach. My wife rolled her Kodiak today. She had been down that hill several times, she just hit a rut a little sideways on loose rock and over it went. The handlebar punched her knee really hard and now it is swolen and blue. We just got home from the emergency room and no fractures. The quad was not hurt either, but we could have repaired it.

From this, I am convinced not to carry passengers unless it is an emergency. We wear MX helmets and boots. Her boot was pretty scraped up as well. I am just glad she had them on.

These are just our personal experiences that accidents do happen when you least expect them.

 

3 TV, I agree that the ride review was not detailed enough. Most of them are not nearly enough detailed for me. BTW how does the wife like the Kodiak 450? I would like to hear about it.
