ya the ozark is a great buy it will go 47 i know not 700 territory. but if ur not too big and heavy why go bigger i went with the 450 cause i wanted it. i let the wife try it sunday and she tells me it rides like a dream and when i got on to hers , its still fun. just not my 450 but she loves it and thats what matters.

 

i have the ozark and the z250. I prefer the ozark for wooded trails and mud (with swamp fox tires) and the z250 for zipping along with my friends and their raptors. The ozark I like best - easier to carry tow ropes, cooler, cameras etc. Replace the stock tires, and you'll go everywhere.

 

Thanks guys! I have been researching a few quads and have had the chance to ride a few more but I keep finding myself looking at the Ozark and thinking that it is all the quad I would need. I rode a DVX 700 yesterday and all I can say was that it was loud and stiff. I didn't get to do much trail riding on it and it turns out the owner had over 10 pounds of air pressure in the rear tires so it spun out a lot on the little climbing I did do. I have also figured out that I don't enjoy riding on logging or dirt roads too much, I would rather be on a trail or in the woods. The two biggest deciding factors will come down to cost and what kind of riding there is in Michigan. I am moving to Sault Ste Marie in a little over two months.
