Default What sold you

I'm just wondering what made everyone choose the machine they did. For me, the TRX450 was the most comfortable. I'm 6'2", all the other 450's I felt very cramped on. I've been a fan of Honda forever so it was my first choice. However I did sit on all the others and they did not feel right.

Bought my Ozark because I'm a Suzuki fan, Did not look like a box (like the 02 Recon) and could only afford to spend 3500. Was hoping to up grade to the Vinson but, Suzuki messed that up. Looks like 400 BigBear next.

Honestly?

I took the advice of an ATV club.....to repeat myself....I know nothing about quads and just started riding in 2007 at the age of 44.....

I love the Kawi when I'm WOT (for me at least! LOL!) flat riding and just tooling around the trails, but I think I may have been better off with a King Quad or Grizzly for the rock/hill climbing and off-camber areas.

I bought my 400ex because that's what my husband had and loved.......and it was only $1500 bucks from a friend.



But she's all mine and I love her :)

I used to ride a Kodiak 450, so I wanted something more powerful.

Affordability, bang-for-your-buck, V-Twin power, and the huge aftermarket were all reasons why I bought a Brute. If the Grizzly was less expensive, I would have considered it, but money was the main factor in my purchase. IRS was also something I needed; I had it on my Kodiak and knew that a solid axle was not for me after riding my dad's Brute Force SRA. Also, my dad had his Brute Force 650 SRA since about the time it came out and hasn't had any major problems, so I figured the 650i would be the same: a trouble-free, relatively inexpensive powerhouse.

The bottom line was that nothing else offered as much value as the Brute.

My first "Lakota 300" because someone I knew was selling it and I could afford it. The LT250R because I wanted a two stroke and 250Rs and Banshees were too expensive.

I had no clue what I was doing. LOL. Used to ride dirt bikes. Never rode a quad. I was on my way to buy a car. Stopped by Hillsboro Moto Sports. My '05 Honda TRX450 was on sale for $4999. I had 6 grand in my pocket and thought it looked cool. Since then, I have become totally addicted to quading. I have two of them now. An '05 and an '07.

i choose the ex cause, i didnt like the way the z400 seat was so high up(uncomfable as hell) , i was thinkin bout the 450s but we only hade enuf cash for the honda 450r. i wanted reverse because i have high expactation of racing XC and MX, the 400 can be bored to beat a 450 that has minor upgrades. which is all a 15 yr old needs
and the 4hundy was famous for bein easy to work on
