my 04 rubicon... i hate it. i have had 3 yamaha atvs and they have been the best atv i have ever bought

 

I ride a 97 Kawasaki prarie 4x4 400 .... it was $900 and all ive put into it is tires, air filter, and an oil change.

I would consider a sport quad (rode a honda trx that kicked ass) ... but I also want to do volunteer search and rescue and the utility quad would better suit those needs .... so once i save up enough money and if i pass probation with the sheriffs dept, i likely will buy another utility once this one gives out

Edit: and i ride with guys on sport quads all the time and i bet i have just as much fun as them .... only place ive been to date that my quad couldnt hang was sand mountain nevada

 

these are all pictures of me, on different bikes lol some of my friends are chicken shit and wont do half the things i do. so i do it for them.. on their bikes.

me skimming across part of a pond


little bit of air,


my new baby, i picked her up friday Its a 07. very few hours. and its fast as all get out.


I cant post most of the other ones off my facebook because im just tagged in them. so it wont let me copy and paste them.

 

True story haha. Luckily i had a couple of friends with me. I'll NEVER do donuts on a big 4wheeler with big mud tires again It flipped over and crushed my right leg and my friends had to pull it off of me.
I still prefer 4x4s though.

 

ive rolled mine 3 times now, luckily it hasnt landed on me yet

 

meh 4wd's have their purposes too. and you can still have fun with them

 

I have a Rhino and a 400ex bored out to a 440cc.....Both are a good time and both of them have their purpose.

Sport ATV's are a blast, I have gone on riding trips 60+ miles a day on trails with groups of people with 4x4s and have never had any issues....matter of fact I had it easier I believed...if I got stuck I would walk around to the back lift it up...move the back tires out of the ruts and give it hell again! I have spent time riding on tracks and really like going fast....I got it new in 2003 fixed it up the way I liked it and rode it hard for a good 5-6 years. Now it sits in the garage most of the time and I don't think I will ever get rid of it as its there when I want to go fast and not taking up much space. This was when I rode it all the time and was a little more confident on it haha



Now the Rhino, ( I know your not planing to get one but I will talk about it bc I can lol)...I love the rhino, its like a tank. I have only got it stuck once shown below...Anymore its all about what can I drive over vs how fast can I go. This doesn't look that bad below but there were a few factors to why I got stuck...1st that ground was bottom less it was a pain to even get another vehicle on the flat ground to not get stuck while pulling me out. 2nd) The belt got wet, goes back to Honda's having a chain drive....once the belt gets wet your done. I was basically just dead weight stuck in water that was slowly rising. I was sitting on the frame which is why the tires look clean as they were just spinning in water.



Now I want the best of both the Sport and 4x4 world. I have been eying the Can Am Renegade 1000. I think this will be my next purchase so I will be set no matter what kind of riding I want to go out and do...Now a days 4x4 Atv's have come along way, allot of the higher bore 4x4s will give you the same thrills as a sport ATV....Granted I am not planning on hitting the metal ramp with the Renegade anytime soon but for fast trail riding I think it would be a good fit.

Me

I dont ride anymore though, I'm married now and have other responsibilities. I have a dualsport bike though and in my opinion those hands down beat anything else if your adventurous.

 

too bad you cant haul anything on the renegade tho, if i was gonna step up into the can of ham world i'd def be looking at an outlander, i think they're about as awesome as it gets

just picked up a 2012 Rincon and am loving it so far, it'll stand up on the back wheels no problem and this is a 650lb atv we're talking about, should do real well now that it has an exhaust/power commander on it

 

that's a awesome pic!!

 

Had a Banshee for a while. I absolutely loved that quad. I had quite a few mods I added too..

But I got more into watersports and traded it for a boat.

I miss my quad, especially during the winter. Hopefully I can get another one soon but I still enjoy the boat more.

My next quad will be either a raptor 660 or another banshee.

Even though the Banshee is a bit of a dinosaur I have loved them since the first time I saw one in like 1990 as a kid!

 

Just all around fun, racing. I take mine offroad and can get through most mud holes if I get my momentum up. Will go anywhere the 4x4 guys go. Would love to get some snow tires for it one of these days. My dad has a Grizzly 660, for taking it slow and easy, that is the way to go, but I can't get nearly as many kicks out of a 4x4 quad as a racing one, not mention the bulk and top-heaviness of them are a little uneasy on some side-hills. Here is mine, 2002 400EX.

 

i have a 07 650 can am 2up 4x4. brought it new in 07 and is a beast. i don't drive it much anymore, due to back problems. just had a nerve blocks put in my back yesterday, today i'm thinking it was a mistake. more pain now then ever! i just use my quad for plowing the drive now and tooling around on my property. had a polaris 450 4x4 before that and was stolen off my trailer. both quads served me well, the can am is way more power then i need.

 

Tomorrow I'm test driving & maybe winning the new '13 101HP Can-Am Maverick on Sand Mountain, NV.

Looks awesome.

 

Wow, that thing is only 58 horsepower short of our 4 cylinder truck rating! Can-Ams are still a mystery to me, have only see one in person. Are they Japanese or who makes em?

 

CanAm is made by BRP. (Bombardier Recreational Products) It is a Canadian company that has been making recreational off road vehicles for about 70 years. Did you know that BRP's founder invented the first tracked vehicle for transportation on snow-covered terrain in 1937? Did you also know that BRP manufactured the first sit-down watercraft, and the first all-terrain vehicle designed for two riders? Were you aware that BRP created a new category with the Can-Am roadster?

 

Not at all until now, interesting stuff

 

Get a 4x4! No question!!!

Way more fun in 2wd. Either way I hope the guys in both these vids were on private land when they did it. Asshats on atvs and in 4x4s turning public trails into mud bogs are what gets a lot of places shut down.
