Newbie from N.E. Georgia here....
Hello, I am Jim and live in N. Ga. I ride sportbikes, bicycles, kayak, hike and am considering getting an quad... I am 5'5" 170 and will be using it on hilly/forest trails for fun.... I have never rode an atv before but it seems like good fun....
I am really thinking about something used, good quality, in the 400-660 range
I want something with enough power to get thru some thick stuff and steep uphills and is reliable... What do you guys suggest???
Thanks and well met
JimT

Thanks HawkeyeRider, I was afraid of that I guess that means I will be probably looking in the $3500 area for a good used one.... I guess the best thing is to find people in my area and pick their brains on the riding areas and the best options, who knows I may be able to find a good used ATV around here...

Welcome from Hart county!
I ride a kawi. Priarie 360, its been a good all around quad for me, I mostly use it for deer hunting and trail riding and some mud play but not much.
I have rode at Locust Stake park in Habersham County but didnt care for the 2 way trails there, almost got into a head on with a bike. I mostly ride in south Georgia with my cousin and its fairly flat.

I had no idea that was a two way trail, guess that could be pretty dangerous.
I guess riding trails like that, I would be better off with a 4x4? Someone recommended the Polaris 500 4x4 with reverse....
One thing I am realizing it is not going cheap to get into this....
Thanks again
Jim
