Default Quad For The Better Half

My girlfriend recently wanted to start comming riding with me, and the only problem this causes, is that I ride an 07 Outlaw 525 not really the 2 person machine.

While I have taken her out on it a few times and she absolutely loves it, it terrifies her to drive it.

I've ran beside her helping with the clutch till she got going but she just doesn't like the shifting idea.

I'm looking at getting her, her own, as an early Christmas present (Which may not be the best idea as I know come Christmas she's going to want a snowmobile because again being passanger is only so much fun) but hey how can I argue with having a girl that loves that stuff???

What I'm looking for is a sporty looking quad, that is automatic.

Doesn't have to be the fastest thing has she'll never go WOT, but a little pep to it would be nice.

Oh and if it comes in pink with butterflies and stars to match her helmet and goggles, I think I will be rewarded big time [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Thanks for your help in advance.

What about the Sportsman 300 LE ? I know it's a utility quad but with the aluminum wheels and slightly different looking front end it kinda has a sporty look to it. The only down fall is no pink or butterfly thingies.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

My wife has a '98 Trilblazer 250. She loves it. It's a big step up from her riding my daughter's Yamaha Breeze. Don't get me wrong, the Breeze will go anywhere (I've ridden it in places I shouldn't have been with it)[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]. I would recommend either one, depending on how she rides. I'm 6'2" and 210 lbs. and that little Yamaha pulls me just fine.

We were on our way to a camping/riding weekend and stop at a Polaris dealer on the way cause I forgot the chain lube. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Wife goes in to see what type jerseys they have and sees a pink quad. Immediately tells me that's what she wants.

Uh, honey, it's 90cc's. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Back on subject, she has an 03 Trail Blazer and an 06 Bomb DS250. She'll take the Blazer over the Bomb any day. I've messed around on both of them, and I agree with her.

They should make a pink Sports<u>woman</u> 800 EFI. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

You can use plastic spray paint on any ATV.
If I could afford two ATVs, my other one would definately be a Scrambler.

Hey from experiance with my wife you dont need 4x4 or a lot of power.If she wants or likes sporty machines check out the new 330 Trailblazer it is slow stock but a clutch kit will bring it to life when she wants more power.For a bigger cushier seat the 330 Trailboss is great same as the Blazer but with racks,bigger seat and dif plastic.Both are very reasonablly priced.
