First, I'd like to say howdy from Arizona! Our weather is finally perfect for getting out and enjoying without burning up, and I am ready to enjoy it!
I don't know a lot about the sport of ATVs at all. I do ride street bikes, and own a Harley and a Metric. I recently rented a few ATVs and a Rhino. I am pumped.
I rented a 2006 Rhino, 2006 Honda 400ex, and a 2006 Honda --- Semi-Auto non-sporty ATV. Had electronic shift.
I really had a blast on the Honda 400ex. It seemed fast, nimble, fun, and fairly safe. It didn't feel like TOO much quad.
So - I guess my first questions are what should a smart, hardcore, amateur be looking for in a first ATV? Is the Honda 400ex a good choice? Buy new or used? If used, buy the best I can afford first or get an older junker to start on?
Anyone around Phoenix? Know of Arizona specifics?
Is there a Used Buyers Guide link to send me to??? I wanna get a GOOD ATV.
Ok, too many questions to start. So I'll stop. Your site looks nice, and I hope I get a bunch of feedback!
Rock N Roll!

Again, thanks Desert Hawk for all that info! I am diving into it all as we speak.
Still haven't found a quad yet. Going back and forth between NEWER 2005+ Honda 400 ex's for around $3500 - $4500; Or going a bit older, 2000-2003 for $2000 - $3499...
Anyone know of a good USED QUAD buyers guide? What to look for, tell tail signs of abuse, etc... I don't trust my knowledge of ATVs as enough to make a smart purchase...
I may hire my rental guy to come with me or inspect a quad before I buy it...
Still pumped, still looking - STILL RENTING! Lol. Going out this weekend, but it won't be on MY quad!!!!
