My wife rides "our" Xplorer400. Lately she has been on my case about the big 26" tires and rough ride they cause in the fast bumps.

"I want that new improved Sportsman 500 with the brown camoflage" she says! She wants big and comfortable. She likes my Scrambler but fusses about the rougher ride in the rocks and the jerky feeling when you hit the throttle.

I ain't complaining...getting a SP500 H.O. after the holidays...(unless there is a 700)

 

Gsport500,
My 00 400cc Xplorer had no EBS from the factory.The dealer was giving away 350$$ in free accessories,so I had them add the EBS.For your wife,you can have EBS added to the 250 Xplorer to.===Bill

 

I've just recently got involved in ATV's at the age of 40. What I find amazing is the number of clubs I encounter on the trail that are made up of older couples. I thought ATVing was a young male's hobby. Not so.

My wife loves her rubicon.

 

I only have one wife, she's expensive enough...
I asked her what she rides and she told me "the Scrambler" yeah, just what I thought LOL...
The Honda's more her speed...

 

I know we're talkin' Polaris here, but.. the easiest steering quad I've ever ridden is my Dads new Kodiak. Also has excellant engine breaking. It feels sort of small to me, but very comfortable. May be good for wives.

My wife rides a SP500 exactly like mine and loves it. Got mine first and a month later had to go get her one too. The cushy ride and automatic are what sold her on it, said she didn't want anything smaller.

 

My wife loves her 2000 Kodiak (400 auto).
It steers like it had power steering, is small enough to fit thru the tight spots without a sweat, is light to handle, has switchable 2/4wd and excellent engine braking.

Personally, I still like my SP500 better, but the Kodiak is her choice.

 

Trail Boss 325, but only cuz we bought two of them. She rips around on it very well though. The only complaint she has is that the floorboard to seat height is a little too tall for her. Thinking of adding or changing the peg height to fit her better. The scariest thing I've seen her do was a 4-wheel drift around a curve flat out on pine needles. She was all grins afterwards!!! The nice thing about your wife riding is that you allways have someone to ride with, the bad thing is when it's dusty out who do you think has to ride in back?...

 

I'm 5'8" and 135 lbs. I love my 00 300ex!! with BIG GUN system, my husband has the 00 400ex and i kinda wish now i got one,but wasn't sure i could ride, i keep up with all the guys, up & down steep hills, trails, mx tracks, our daughter who is 20 and has never ridden anything-we got her a 00 350 Rancher, she loves it, she's only 5'4" after all day riding she's tired but she keeps up with us!! hope this helps! oh the gear changing to me is fun, you can pop a wheelie very easy, just wish i could ride it on 2 wheels like the guys!

 

Scrambler 500 4x4... Its nimble enough for her to ride without getting tired. Its got PLENTY of power, so she can actually ride it and not have to work to keep up all day. It has AWD so that she can actually follow me thru most places that I go thru (MUD). And these bikes actually have a decent re-sale value. And they look sporty!!.
