New to utility ATV's......
#1
BUT have been around Sport ATV's and 2 and 4 stroke dirtbikes. Now the question, I'm looking for a utility ATV for hunting and fun. I want a 400cc or better, new or used, 4X4, manual or auto tranny. I'm 6' 4" tall and weigh 240Lbs., and the wife has me on a budget. She says I already have too many toys. What out there is the best "bang for the buck" in a Jap bike new and used? Next what is the most reliable? I have no interest in Polaris at all so don't suggest them please, I won't buy one.

I would suggest the Suzuki Eiger 400 4x4! Great power, 2wd/4wd Lever, low and high gear switch. Also get a 5 speed they are maintainence free and With the Auto you have to worry about your belt slipping in mud or water, and also belt replacement. I got mine for $5,199 and $5,800 out the door including a free helmet and Warn 2000 Winch!

The new Vinson with the 5 speed manual sounds like a nice buy from Suzuki. And you can buy Grizz's around here for 5990.00. It depends on what budget she has you on. There was a guy riding a Prairie 650 with a pipe at the ATV rodeo last Saturday and it had to be the best sounding atv I have ever heard. They retail for 6195.00 in this area.I think the P650 is more fun than the grizz because of the solid axle. And he was outrunning piped 400ex's with it as well. It would be my choice.

Arctic Cat 400 or 500 they have changable 2wd and 4wd with a lever you pull or push by the fender and the autos go about 55 to 60 depending on the conditions. They have the most ground clearence 1 friggin foot so you will never get stuck or hung up and they can pull anything and they are cheeper than most hondas and lighter than polaris and they have tons of torque so thats something to look at.

Thanks for all the replys! Now, a new question. I have just settled with my insurance company from a motorcycle accident I had in July. I'm getting $30k after attorney fees, given that I'm "allowed" by my wife $6k for a new or used bike. So the question is, if you had $6k to spend on a utility ATV new or used what would you buy and why? I still have no interest in Polaris.
