i am considering the wolverine but i want something that has a more sporty feel to it and wih the wolverine being full time 4wd i dont think it will have a sporty feel(like whipping back end out around turns etc) can you jump these quads are they good at climbing

I think if i would go with the honda as it has selectable 2-4wd. Although you can buy a kit for the yammy to make it selectable. There is a pretty big aftermarket of performance mods for the yamaha if you plan on going that way. But i dont think your gonna be dissapointed with any quad you buy. If those sport bikes leave you in the dust,(they will) just get back at them by throwing muddy roost at them when they get stuck in the mudd.

For the same money as a Foreman you could get Suzuki Vinson. I f I was going to ride with sport quads and didn't want to pay for a big bore I would get the Suzuki. It is real fast for a 500 can slide and jump pretty decent too. Selectable 2 or 4 wheel drive and faster than a Wolverine too. Ottherwise spend a little more get a Prairie and smoke them. seriously consider and ride a Vinson for what your talking about it will stomp the Foreman. Foreman is a work quad and the Wolverine is a 14 year old design.

What?

Since the prairie 700 came out u can get a smokin deal on a 650 prairie (about $6000 out the door). the 650 is an awesome machine. Just as fast as as a 400EX, the best 4x4 system available (selectable, diff lock) and with a solid rear axle gives it a sportier feel than the quads with IFS, but you do give up a little ride comfort, and ground clearance to them, but not enough to b concerned about, in my opinion. I just think right now is a great oppurtunity to get a good deal on a great bike. make sure you shop around to get the best price, this could save u enough money to buy new tires. Whatever you buy I'm sure you'll have loads of fun on it but if your looking for a sport utility the prairie is the best you can get.

The wolv is a great machine. All you have to do for sportyness is buy the Warn 424 disconnect. It will run you about 240 dollars and you can install it yourself and in about 2 hours you have selectable 4x4. Then you have basically a 4x4 warrior. Yes, its just that sporty. This quads approval rating is way over 90 percent. But its more for play than work. It will work... It would just rather play.
