If you read that it's auctually not a bad suggestion, that 650 would provide a very big "bang for the buck" when compaired to new SRA Utes 650 and larger.

 

"He is looking to spend between 5-6K. Oh, and before someone asks...he will be riding mostly dirt trails, some mud(not much), rocky trails, etc...No farming or work with this one."

I took the no farming or work in the above quote from the thread originator, to mean a pure utilty to be a poor fit, but what ever you think.

 

Nah, I just meant that it didn't have to have some of the requirements that maybe someone who would use it for mowing, plowing, etc, etc, would need (whatever that may be). Im sure some Utes are better equipped for that than others.

 

suzuki vinson 500 automatic or suzuki eiger would be nice beginner trail quads that are reliable and fun to drive.

 

check out a Polaris Scrambler 500cc 4 stroke ,4x4

 

make sure he gets something with IRS if he's paying $5k+
