Just some suggestions. There are a bunch of things that you'll want to know about the ATV you're thinking about buying.

Does it have enough power for you

Does it have true 4-wheel drive or is there an actuator control you need to lock to get 4-wheel drive

What are the known problems that ATV has

Go to the store you'll be buying the ATV and ask for a summary of the price for certain parts and their prices

Will you be repairing the ATV yourself or will you have a friend or the shop repair it for you

Don't be afraid to go to a bunch of different forums and ask people what their oppinions are on the ATV that you want and if they've had any past problems and or expierences with it

Ask the dealer about recalls, promotions, mail-in rebates, services, parts prices & labor charges

Hope this helps good luck

You should tell us what type of riding you will be doing. Different atvs do different things better.

Ive got a 750 brute...and I have no complaints. Ive changed mine a little from stock, but even in stock mode, it was a really good quad. tons of power, great handeling.

I tried out the 650 before hand and it wasnt the machine that suited me best. so I went for the big boy.
