Can anyone help me? I live in NC don't do much trail riding, But I would like to start. I like the Bruin 350 but should I go 2wd or 4 wd? Some mud, I am 250lbs. help me to deside. 2wd 3500.00 4wd 4500.00 Or should go bigger. Only ride every other week end.

 

Personally, i'd suggest getting a 4x4. Say like a Grizzly 660 or something comparable. My friends dad has a kawasaki prairie 650 and that thing hauls ***. Its really nice. You can select 2wd or 4wd as well. Also, with a utility model, you'll want the power, especially if you ever get into some deep mud. I personally perfer sport models, but thats because i'm more of a "sporty" person (i love sports cars/trucks, bikes, quads, etc) rather than a utility person. But, with this advice, get the biggest one you can afford. If you can afford the grizzly 660, get that over the bruin 350. If you can't afford the 660, get the 350, ride it for a while, get comfortable on it, save up some money, then sell it or trade it in and get the bigger one in a couple years.

 

you mean 2x4 vs 4x4?? a 2x2 would be a 2 wheel drive dirtbike....

 

ive seen them![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] hey bubba sp, why dont u try and find like a kodiak 400 or 450. that is about between a grizz and a bruin. the bruins arent that bug, my neibor got a bruin for his 9th birthday. ha ha lol.

 

If i were you.. or anybody.. get a 4x4 because you can always switch from rear wheel drive - to 4 wheel drive when you get stuck!!!!!

My suggestion is deffenately get a 4 wheel drive!!!!!!!!!

 

Yea, but there is a lot of quads out there now with this all time 4wd crap. Id rather switch it. I know the old kodiak 400 was like that, along with a few others. Id go with a grizzly. It will out run a blaster and amazing with hill climbs and just a fun fun quad.

 

alot of utilitys can out run a blaster. I got my friend on the long run on his blaster when I was on my 350 Wolverine

 

Yea, but id go bigger if you could, it just usually gets better, better suspension, more comfort, more power, more extras, but of course, More $$$.

 

id say get a wolvy there as fast at the 2x4 if not faster btu there 4x4

 

Hey Bubba,

Never mind the folks who suggest spending 7 to 8 grand instead of 4 to 5 like your wanting to. I would go with the 4x4 if you don't mind spending the extra 1000.00. It will really help out if you ever use the quad for work. You could look at the big bear 400 (unless you just want something with a automatic tranny). A big bear could probably be bought for the same $ as a bruin. It would have a bit more grunt to haul you around. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
