Just a little story for all of you....

Started riding dirt bikes as a kid (I am 31). Just last year started riding quads full time.
I started out with a Warrior and had a blast on it. Went up to NH on weekends for all day rides and had more fun that I have ever had on dirt bikes. This got me really into it.... Decided to step up.... Bought a 03 Z400. Very impressive machine in open areas but was a little silly in the trails. The front lifts too easily making it a challenge in tight twisty trails with trees.

Decided maybe a 4WD would bring more excitement. Got rid of the Z400 and bought a Suzuki Eiger.
Liked the Eiger....drove it for a few days until I went a little too fast on a bumpy road, flipped it over and landed on me. Broke my collar bone and a rib. All in all it cost me about $10k to crash between medical expenses and lost work. Sold the Eiger because I needed the money.

This spring decided to get back into it. Found a good deal on a Raptor 660. Drove it 2 times and looked to get rid of it. Too much power for tight areas like the Z400.

So after all the trading, buying and selling... I went back to a Warrior. Put a cam, exhaust, jet kit etc.... to make it a little faster and am loving it!

Sometimes more power is not called for. I like riding the Warrior, pushing it to the max...Never dies. It is just so much more fun for all around riding. I know it is labeled as a slower quad, but it is very fun in the trails, climbs big enough hills, and is more fun to ride to me.

The Warrior is the quad for me.

 

do u have many places to ride were u live? out there in eastern ma. any places legal to ride at. there sure arent many out here. actually, i dont think there are any more than 2 or 3, and that sucks about the crash, u should of kept the eiger though. jmo.

 

glad to hear you finally got a quad that you are comfortable and suits your needs for riding
