That dealer either sucks or he is pulling your leg. All over the states, these quads are stocked up at dealerships. Do a dealer search on one of the manufacturers websites and make some phone calls. If nothing else, that will give you an idea of inventory.

 

I would get a Wolverine. Its kinda sporty and a utility at the same time.

 

Roscoe, I will agree with some of the others and say a Scrambler sounds like what you are looking for. Sports are fun and I had a 98 Warrior that my son rode. We ride woods and fields around the house mostly. There were just too many times that my son got stuck in the thick mud and I would have to pull him out. In the winter after some good snow falls he was always getting hung up so we decided to get him a 4x4. Just to make riding more fun for both of us for the type of riding we do. He wanted something sportier then my 500ho, so we decided on a Scrambler and he just loves it. To tell you the truth I really like to ride it myself when he will let me.

thanks belt. i have ridden the scram 500 4x4 and i love it but my ***** and arms hate it after a long ride. the machine has a tendensy to toss you about and i like the much smoother ride of the yamaha atvs better. but i ll believe you when you say how spoty it is, i love that monster, but also its one loud dog. the last thing i need are complaints from all the old peole in my neighbor hood that my atv is too loud. when im plowing.
