If your comfortable with your manhood, Im gonna say the best all around quad right now is the king quad 750. Outlander 800 and Yamaha 700 arent far behind.

Most of the companies now a days make pretty good quads right across the board though. Different uses for each.

The Honda Rincon is the best all around 4 wheeler I have ever had..... No belts to slip and plenty of power for working and does pretty well in the mud and is 4 wheel drive..... I love mine. over 2000 miles on it and never has missed a beat. Fill with gas and keep fluids changed you will have no problem with any Honda...

I,ll second that! Nice on the trail and 4WD on the fly. Honda really knew what they were doing when designing this Quad for every one. Hopefully they will release a new model soon.

If you are new to the sport then....

The sure-nuff best quad is the one you love to ride. Best way to do that is to go out and ride some of your friends quads, and see what fits. Depending on what you want to do, test things out, and buy what you can afford.

Really the best thing to do is find a decent, cheap quad, and get some riding time under your belt. Once you get a feel for it, upgrade to something better, or more your style.

As a nod to Wylde, the older Polaris Scramblers are pretty stout, and its still a pretty good beginners bike, sporty, automatic, and with maintenance they last pretty good.

For a utility quad the older 650-700 Kawi Prairies are a good starter quad, and are also one of my favorites.

Sport quads? Get an older Honda 400ex, they can take anything you throw at them.

You can usually get any of these pretty cheap, ride them and beat on them, then when you are ready trade in for something you are really want.

Everyone wants to run out and get an 450 sport quad, or an 800-1000 utility cause biggest are always best. If you are a "Newbie" DON'T! Take your time, and get into it slowly. Something a little smaller and a little older is ALOT more forgiving. As a bonus, if you make a dumb mistake, you didn't just ruin a really expensive quad that you are making payments on.

Just my opinion, YMMV.

Can any other experienced guys add anything to my advice? Maybe I am leaving something out?

      I have owned my 84 Honda 200m for years now and I am wanting to see what i could do to upgrade horsepower , speed , performance , power etc and do it safely and not cause future harm to the engine.
      I was thinking on getting a 200x piston, will this work and give a good power increase ?  I have heard people have done this in the past and it works great. and i was also thinking on a 200x cam , will the 200x cam fit in this engine and make a difference also does it require the upgrading of any other parts and will i have to run 91 octane instead of 87 ? has anybody run this setup before and got good results ?
      I was also gonna go with a 200x carb but not sure if i have to buy an intake to hook it up or will it just bolt onto the 200m intake and fit fine ?
      If anyone has any suggestions and advice on what i could do it would be greatly appreciated ! thanks in advance.

      For ATV and UTV enthusiasts, regular maintenance is key to ensuring the longevity and performance of your vehicle. One of the most overlooked yet essential components is the battery. Just like in cars, ATVs and UTVs require a reliable power source to start the engine and power additional features like lights, winches, and electronic accessories. Understanding why changing your ATV and UTV battery at the right time is essential—and why Weize batteries are a top choice—can keep you out on the trails longer and reduce the risk of unexpected battery failures.
      Why Changing Your ATV/UTV battery is Crucial
      1. Prevent Unexpected Breakdowns
      Imagine being out in the wilderness, far from help, and suddenly your ATV won’t start. A reliable battery ensures that your vehicle can always start up, keeping you safe and ready for any situation. Old or degraded batteries lose their capacity to hold a charge, increasing the likelihood of sudden, inconvenient breakdowns.
      2. Improve Overall Performance
      A fresh battery doesn’t just guarantee startup; it also supports optimal performance. ATV and UTV batteries power important accessories, such as headlights, which are crucial for visibility in low-light conditions. A weak battery can dim your lights, affect the functioning of electric winches, and even disrupt GPS or other electronic equipment. A new, high-quality battery helps maintain the consistent power output necessary for these essential features.
      3. Extend the Life of Other Components
      An aging battery can strain other vehicle components. As the battery weakens, it requires more effort from the alternator and other electrical parts to maintain a charge. This added stress can wear down the electrical system over time. Replacing the battery on schedule can help to reduce strain on the alternator and prevent more costly repairs down the line.
      4. Adapt to Changing Seasons
      Temperature fluctuations can significantly impact battery life. Colder temperatures reduce battery efficiency, which can lead to issues during winter months, while extreme heat can cause rapid battery degradation. Changing your battery seasonally or before long periods of extreme weather can help avoid seasonal breakdowns and extend battery life.
      Why Choose Weize batteries for Your ATV or UTV?
      When it comes to replacement batteries, Weize is a top choice among ATV and UTV enthusiasts. Here’s why Weize batteries are particularly suitable for powering these rugged vehicles:
      1. Exceptional Durability
      Weize batteries are designed to withstand tough conditions, including off-road terrain, shock, and vibration. Whether you’re tackling rocky trails, mud, or hills, Weize batteries are built to last. Their rugged construction helps to ensure reliable performance even under the most challenging conditions.
      2. Long-Lasting Power
      Weize batteries use high-quality materials that allow for a stable charge and dependable discharge rate. This long-lasting power translates into fewer replacements, saving you money over the long run. Weize batteries are built to provide reliable starting power and can handle additional loads from accessories, ensuring that your ATV or UTV gets all the energy it needs.
      3. Low Maintenance and Easy Installation
      Weize batteries are designed with a focus on low maintenance and easy installation. Many models come pre-charged and sealed, meaning they’re ready to use right out of the box. This ease of installation makes them an ideal choice for riders who prefer a straightforward setup with minimal hassle.
      4. Affordability and Value
      Weize offers high-quality batteries at competitive prices, making them a great value for ATV and UTV owners. Despite their affordability, they don’t compromise on durability or performance, providing excellent quality without the premium price tag.
      5. Environmentally Responsible
      Weize prioritizes sustainable manufacturing practices, ensuring that their batteries meet environmental standards. This focus on eco-friendly production is a plus for ATV and UTV riders who want to reduce their impact on the environment while still enjoying high-quality equipment.
      Signs It’s Time to Change Your battery
      To maximize your ATV or UTV’s performance, be aware of the signs indicating that a battery replacement is necessary:
      Slow Engine Crank: If your engine takes longer than usual to start, it may be due to a weakening battery. Dim Lights: Dimming headlights are often a clear sign that your battery is losing its capacity to hold a charge. Frequent Recharging: If you find yourself recharging the battery frequently, it might be time for a new one. Age of the Battery: Most ATV and UTV batteries last between two to four years. Regular replacements can prevent unexpected breakdowns. Final Thoughts
      Changing your ATV or UTV battery when it shows signs of wear is essential for reliable performance and safety on every ride. Choosing a dependable brand like Weize ensures that you’re investing in long-lasting power, durability, and value. With a new Weize battery, your ATV or UTV will be ready for every adventure—whether you’re out on the trail or tackling heavy-duty tasks. So before you embark on your next journey, make sure your battery is up to the challenge, and consider Weize as a trusted choice for dependable power.

      I am looking to replace the Maxxis AT 25x8-12 tires on my Yamaha Grizzly 700 and put on snows.  Going bigger to 27" and wider to 9" or 10" is probably a good idea, yes????? I've heard that Maxxis Zillas are good. 
      I just want to use the quad on the trail to get into the lake and then go ice fishing. 
      Appreciate any and all advice.
      Thank you!
