My wife wants one, because she would not have to learn how to shift gears then.

Tried to talk mine into a TRX250, but she wanted nothing to do with any kind of shifting. Disappointing yes, but I figure the more she rides, the more I do. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

my wife wants a 450 wolvy.she also does'nt want anything to do with shifting but she wants to look sporty go figure

 

I guess we all have the same thing in common then, they want it to look sporty but with out the shifting.

 

D@mmit i ride a girls' bike! LOL Naw it wasn't my first choice, it fell in my lap. It's pretty quick still and better handling than my last quad so at least it was a step up.

 

They are nice bikes. I think that alot of us enjoy the shifting aspect.

My first quad was a polaris. Actually got a lot of the other family members to take an interest in riding, since they didn't have to shift.

But now that I have the kfx, I do have to admit, it is a little boring riding the auto. Still, the old popo can go through a lot more mud than I can.

HEY THERE BE NICE. not all girls want nothing to do with shifting. I' m a girl i ride a 400 ex i love it theres a few girls out there that ride

 

...I believe automatics have their place though. Imagine a 2-stroke bike made for the trails with a manual tranny. Honestly, it is just much nicer to not have to clutch a 2-stroke when you are stopping and going all day. But, I do agree that shifting is much more fun.

 

My Wife didn't think she could learn how to shift either.... she never even drove a manual car....

But after a few lessons on our old Warrior at the time and she got the hang of it....... now she enjoys shifting and would not ride an auto because they are "boring" to her .....

Personally shifting is part of the fun..... it's nice to bang gears ...

I agree with most people that your quad is kind of a hybrid ... the Polaris machines of those years were unique and still are.....
