Ok men I have a dream quad. I'll take a Polaris Sportsman 500 with the best mud tires possible. That is all. I admit, if I had an extra $6000 laying around I would be on my way to the Polaris dealer instead of typing this. I really love my Max though, and I don't think I can give up the amphibious ability. The only way I would want a quad is if I also had my Max. I just got done swapping the front tires so I get even better traction in mud. For those of you who say it is no fun to not get stuck, I have found a mud hole that I can not completely make it across. I can make it 3/4 of the way then it stops. I can back out though. Now that I have my tires swapped I am going out there tomorrow and giving it pure hell. This mud is over the tires, we are talking serious mud. The main problem is that there is lots of air trapped in this mud and it causes suction. It holds anything that gets in it. If you step in even like 6" of it with boots on, it holds you so tight you have to fight with it a while before you can take a step. What makes it worse is that it stinks like a rotting carcus. But, I must conquer the unconquerable!

 

My dream quad would be the same as the one I have in my garage (Y2K Magnum 325 4X4) except be one that I had time to ride.

 

I'm beginning to think that the DS650 is my dream quad, but if it turns out that it is now, I'd like a Warrior with a FST 500 engine. The Ohlins shocks that Mission Yamaha put on their Banshee in DirtWheels. A real good low end pipe for the woods. Lots of chrome and details. Oh and an endless gas tank.

My Dream quad would have to be the 500 foreman 4x4 that Scott from highlifter made. The only thing I don't get is why he didn't make that upgrade on a 450? He could have had a 550 then. Oh well I think in real life he has the baddest swamp going quad around.

 

My dream quad doesn't cost a ton, weighs less than 400 lbs, out accelerates just about anything this side of a pure hill shooter, has 9 inches of suspension, runs all day and night, throws a 20 foot roost, sounds sweet, is comfortable, reliable and the envy of every dune rider that doesn't own one.

Oh, wait a minute... I just described my Banshee. hehehe

 

The 2001 Arctic Cat sport quad. Info today says its comming. I would hope for a ZRT 600 triple two stroker. Price at 7500 I would buy one.

 

How about a DS650 push button AWD Ohlins shocks all the way around that weighed 350#.

Mine would be that one that Darth Maul rode in Episode One. My Magnum will handle some bumps, but I wouldn't ride it off a couple hundred foot cliff like he did.

I'd have to go with Mark (WAY back up the thread) About one that is paid for, gotten cheaply and works.....

I just got my first quad, and I know it isn't the biggest, best, fastest, or anything..but it gets me around.
THAT has been a dream of mine for years!
