Ok im more than likely going to be in the market for a new ATV.
I want to have a utlility ATV that will still go fast and do good in mud.
The big bear looks like a good option but im hearing its slow in the top end. My friend has an older model one and its slow so i figured this was true.
So what other options do I have for a utility atv that will really still haul some ***. But I dont want an automatic i want to be able to switch gears.

 

Yamaha Wolverine.

 

Wolverine OR a suzuki eiger/vinson 5 speed!

 

i second that,a vinson or a wolverine!

 

considering vinson heavily

 

look for a used Polaris Xplorer 400 4x4. You can usually find them cheap, they are very reliable and pretty fast.

 

The vinson is an awesome quad! I was actually going to buy it over my prairie because shifting is more fun , but I just happened to find a sweat deal on the prairie so I had to grab it! The Vinson is one the fastest utility quads I have ridden

 

Is the vinson faster-stronger than the wolv?

 

Yes, the Vinson will "dust" a wolverine in a drag. It definately feels more powerful! The only downside to the vinson is it is heavy, and costs more. If you want a light machine, I would definately get the wolverine, put an unlocker on it, and pipe it. Whatever you buy though, make sure you buy a 2000+ wolverine.

 

I don't think that you will be disappointed with the Vinson. Try one out and go from there.
