for when they came out i whould have the say the honda 250r, suzuki lt500, yfz450, and raptor 700, and of course banshee.

 

For power and the desert: Can-Am DS650
Mountains: Kawasaki KFX 450
Trails: Honda TRX 450
MX: Yamaha YFZ 450
Reliability: Yamaha Raptor 700
Roots: Honda 250R
Concept: Yamaha Banshee 350 twin

 

for woods and trail depending on your skill level would be ,
Warrior
Z400

 

heres my opinion
sport- BANSHEE

trails-WARRIOR

utility and everything else- GRIZZLY 700FI EPS AND RHINO 700FI

 

'08 KTM 525

 

they havent even tested the new KTM yet, they've only released information, though it does look like a really nice bike

There are some in the GNCCs and other series that are performing well, in stock form. Ask around some XC racers, a lot of them would get on one right now. I know i would, but that price tag is scary.

 

whats the tag on the new 525?

 

Last I heard MSRP is like $9,100.00

 

For the best all around sport quad I am leaning towards the Raptor 700. They are fast, way more reliable than 2 stokes or 450's and they are fuel injected. Plus you can build them to be fast for way cheaper than anything else. Yeah the 250r was one of the orignals but the new quads have improved on the old technology and made it way better all around. I also love my DS650 it rides like a dream and is bulletproof, but is a pain in the a$$ to work on. I just replaced a piston last night and holy $hiz that thing kicked our *****.
