New or used? 2wd or 4wd? 2 stroke or 4 stroke?

A nice used machine for the ladies is the Polaris 300 Xpress. If you can find one in mint condition.

Are you looking to get her another Polaris? If so, the TBlazer 250 two stroke is the lightest of thier full-size quads. It's easy to ride and maintain, is oil-injected(no mixing fuel),has electric start and reverse, tops out around 50, so its no sreamin' demon, either, and sells for around $3100. Take her down to the dealership and have her try all the ones that she thinks are pretty(you know how woman are), and have her pick her favorite.

Your decision is 2wd or 4 wd. For nasty trails do not buy 2wd/wasted money/.TB 325- heavy quad , small wheels. TB 250 4x4 is better..maybe...?

Go for a deal on 2 HO's. Who knows, she may just love it, and you'll have a spare!

Lance, if you are not biased on manufacturer, the new 250ex would be a nice ride for the wife.
