Recommendations for ATV for my DILs to ride?

Hey All,

Looking for some recommendations on an ATV for my Daughters-in-law to ride when they visit with my sons. We ride mostly woods trails. It needs to be fairly easy to ride, automatic is't necessary but shifting should be forgiving and it needs to be under $2000. I have a Banshee and a Polaris Sportsman 500HO now.

One DIL is tiny, 5' and about 100lbs, the other is about 5'8" and 130lbs. I'm concerned that steering on the Sportsman may require too much upper body strength and the Banshee is definitely not a beginner's ride.

I'm thinking about a Warrior (may be under powered) or a Honda 400EX but I'd love to hear what others might suggest?

Thanks!

Id recommend a Kymco Mongoose.

Its a CVT tranny so you just have forward and reverse. Dang near stupid proof which is a great thing. Even a inexpierienced rider can jump on and have some safe fun.

My wife loves the mongoose.

A warrior wont be underpowered but not the best choice (IMO).

A LT230E (semi auto shift) will go anywhere (I have one of those also).

If you are really looking for a clutch machine, I leave my 250R at home to ride my 300ex when I want to just cruise. The 300ex would be a better choice than the warrior or 400ex. Again, IMO.

Too many cc + a clutch = ouch! :)

Good luck on your decision.

      In search of the backwoods nudist campsites and ready to select the right ATV.
      By mehim
      Hi everyone. 
      Let me explain the thread title. 
      My husband and I are very active in the nudist community, and we have stayed at many and most of the mainstream nudist and clothing optional campgrounds in the USA. We are now approaching our retirement and would like to start a podcast to share those off the road / backwoods / little known camping areas where nudity is allowed. We have purchased a 5th wheel camping trailer with a rear garage for the ATV and now need some good reports on the one to buy. 
      We are most interested in a side by side unit but would love to get your thoughts. 
      Feel free to stop by and say Hi and ask anything you would like to better understand what we are looking for in an offroad unit. 
      Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you.

      Hello guys, I hope I am not invading your space, but as you can see the current state of my project here it's not but about 50% ATV. I am hoping that some one here can point me to a wiring schematic that I can reference since the "Complete wiring harness" i purchased from Amazon did not include a diagram of any kind.

      The ones that I am finding on line vary greatly but none show the connections for the separate 5 wire connector coming from the motor.

      Can someone tell me where these wires go?
       
      Thanks in advance for all help!
