I want to get my wife a new quad but she has never ridden one before so i want somethig that is easy for her to learn on but also a decent quad once she does learn how to ride i have a 2005 v she does not want anyting that big anyone have ayn sugestions We love Kawasaki!! well thanks

 

PRAIRIE 360!!
I curse it every time I get on, but thank the Good Lord everytime I get off---Not real fast, but plenty powerful in high range to pull two 200+ lb men up any hill.

Same size as the bigger prairie but very tame.

IMHO

 

I agree (except I dont curse mine)...wife loves overs...
easy to ride, comofy, power and handy...
plus you can not find another ATV with all those options for that price...

thinking about another in spring just for her...

 

Bingo! The P360, and I don't even have one, yet..........

 

So the prarrie is better than the Bayou i just hope that is not ot much power for my little wife.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

depending on the types of trails you ride.. She might be more comfortable on an IRS machine..

Has she ridden the V and complained about how the suspension stinks yet? LoL.. Use the throttle limiter, the V has a ton of torq and will pull you almost anywhere.. I let my mom ride my V and I just limit the throttle to the point she can go up just about any small hill, but if she paniced and nailed the throttle it didn't have enough to pull a wheelie... This will be good to have an idea of how she likes that type of ride.. Then you can go out and test ride some of the IRS machines.. Not sure if the Brute force 650 is IRS??

If your concerned about the power and size of the machine.. the new 450 machines are nice.. and without lynching me, check out I believe its the Kodiak 450 which is IRS now.. and I think Polaris just came out with one too.. She might be more comfortable on an IRS, which means she'll enjoy riding longer and not being beat up by the machine..

 

I also say the 360 would be a good choice. Just tell her to use low range when going slow, pulling, climbing, etc and she wont have any probs from the belt. Have fun.

 

Kawi just came out with IRS for the 650.

 

Hey cobra, how do you like those 25 in deep lugs. Im getting some put on mine tomorrow. How much power loss did you get. Do you like them so far.

 

They are great! Power loss is VERY mininal, hardly any is lost at all. I can go places in 2wd, that I had trouble with in 4wd before. It is amazing the difference that they actually do make. They wear great too. You will be very pleased with your choice. I can now go anywhere I want to with my Bruin. That is as long as I have enough ground clearence.
