Honda Recon is the best Atv for utility. It's light, cheap, less parts to break, if you get stuck alot put a winch and your good to go. 4x4 front axles break on the larger models recon is rear wheel drive that never breaks. Or you can get a Honda Rancher 420 2WD but it's heavier so if you get stuck by yourself you might have a hard time getting out of the mud you will definitely need a winch on this Atv.

I have a Artic Cat XC 450 it's the best of all worlds when it comes to 4 wheeling. It's a sport quad but I've put a rack on it and a winch and there both able to plug into the trailer hitch so I'm able to use them when I need them and if I don't want them I don't have to bring them with me because there not on my machine full time.

I am looking for an ATV for snow plowing and trails. Not looking for extreme speed. Do I need a V-Twin? (Dealer was saying I need a V for snow plowing, but now has an offer on 500’s with plough… I am confused! Lol)

I want to buy my 11 year old granddaughter her 1st. ATV and I need to know what size to get her and what’s the difference between 110cc and 125cc, is that the engine size? I’m also looking for the best price...as u can see this is all new to me.
The fact. The picture shown for the cabin was in a place called Jarbaige Nevada and the fact it is the cabin our dairy owns is insane. Never thought I would find that cabin on a video
So I know this video is an older one but I've had a little experience riding my friends scrambler 850s and I was wanting to get my own but are they worth it? I love riding faster and got a bunch of friends who want me to come riding with them as well.
Glad to hear it's still running, but I would definitely give it a once over! Like Joseluis said, check the oil. You may need to drain the fuel and dry the spark plug / run a little desiel in there to dry it out as well if you are noticing issues. If you do a quick search on UA-cam you should be able to find a couple good step by step guides to help you out.
Pleas see entire comment. My step dad has 2 Kawasaki Brute Force 750 v-twins 1 for him 1 for my mom his is all done up it has a turbo chip mud grip tires etc. The one for my mom is completely stock and me and my two friends were getting into some hood rat sh*t long story short that stock one was going 70mph with all three of us on it... then I got a banshee 350 the year I got it i was in 11th grade, another long story short I never went to 11th grade
@@riccardocarlotti683 ok, it was the "explication" that gave it away. It's "explanation" I was a foreigner in brasil for a couple years and I would guess at a lot of words because the patterns between the two languages seemed consistent then every once in a while the words was just slightly different. I believe I was calling the portuguese word "explicação" as "explanação" for a while. Not trying to insult your english. English is my native language and sometimes I still throw portuguese into it on accident.
I bought a brand new yellow 400EX in 2001 and rode it for 15 years. 15 years and not a single break of anything. Only oil changes and tires. If you know how to ride a sport quad there are few places you cant follow the 4x4 guys. There was never a hill they could climb that I also couldn't nail with sheer momentum and climb too. Big mud holes I could always find a way around. I miss the sport quad glory days. I rode a new Sportsman recently and it felt like riding a aircraft carrier. That Scrambler is NOT a sport quad either...its just a stripped down Sportsman. You roll them down a hill its done, totaled. A real sport quad you can save and not roll in the first place by hopping off, or as in the film here they can roll over and keep on going. Theres only 1 sport quad left today...the Raptor.
For me personally, I loved my Honda 300 EX years ago. Great to learn on, very versatile. Basically was marketed as a sport utility, but easily converted to full sport. I rode that thing for 9 years, HARD. Never had any major issues. Now that Im older, I wouldnt trade my 2000 Arctic Cat 500 4x4 for anything. Its not going to win many races, but its comfortable, reliable even at 20 years old, plows 2 foot of snow like nothing and havent bogged in a mud hole yet that people on newer quads wouldnt dare try. All comes down to what kind of riding you're looking for like said in the video to get the most enjoyment. But those 2 I listed above were both great.
btw u said people with newer quads wouldnt dare try to go in a mudhole! That wouldn't be true! If i had the money for one, I would definitely go in a mudhole when I passed the break in period!
Awesome job! I'd love a more sport oriented ATV, but being a fatty... I'll stick something big enough for me, and cargo room for my sandwic...... tools.
😆 thanks brother. Well the sportsman 1000 definitely toes the line between sport utility and just utility! Especially with a few mods, the beast could probably keep up with say the scrambler! It's sort of one of those, "yea technically it's a utility machine" 🤣
I have carried just about everything on my Polaris racks from tools to woods to deer and moose and way more weight than recommended. Never an issue. Not a crack or ding.
Make sport quads great again lol should have included a 450 sport quad rather than a 400ex. 400s are low maintenance compared to every make and model of sport 450 ever made (greasing parts, changing oil frequently, tightening bolts) just another thing to think about when looking to purchase an atv.
For me, I have found that I prefer the big single engines over the v-twins. It's a more simple setup, and tends to feel better in the bottom end. Sure, the twins have longer legs, but 99% of the time that is a non-factor. I also really like the sport-utility segment. That being said, you can typically trim the fat off of the utility machines, get better shocks, and have the same thing.
Thanks for the input, Rodney. I agree that a large amount of the time the V-twin is a non factor. Then again, I personally do more trail riding that speeding down routes or more open spaces. So I think riding style plays a role there as well.
I have a 1997 350 warrior with a big bore kit bored out to a 373 with a stage 2 hot cam and its by far fast enough to have fun enough but also has the power to do work around the house I would deffintly prefer a warrior over anything cause its made for work and fun
Could I ask you a question? How are you doing? What do I do if I’m gonna buy me a Polaris four wheeler for Polaris dealership but I want to four wheeler with automatic and Bluetooth and power store easy arrive I’m gonna buy how do I get a phone die any money down doing credit❤❤❤
Why not have 2 I had a 700XX for going fast, high speed trails, jumpd, mx style riding. Also had a 420 Rancher for cruising rock crawling working around the house.
Good info, thanks for the video. 1st time purchasing an ATV. Recently purchased some land and was looking for a good ride. I've always rode a buddy's or rented so I never had to worry about these kind of things. Helped my purchasing decision. Cheers
I am 43 now and about to sell my yfz 450 sport quad and just bought a polaris sportsman. I love to go fast but being comfortable is now more important to me. That being said I am looking into the can am renegade 800x. It's 4x4, automatic, and crazy fast. My so will ride the Polaris. He tried learning on a blaster and the trails we ride are too extreme. He wants automatic
I’ve got an old 87 trx250r for sale. Starts first kick, bored to 360cc, full bore plastics, asv levers. Straight cut gears, cool head, comes with sand and dirt tires. Lol. Buying older isn’t that cheap.
Very good video! You are spot on about engine size. Kind of off subject ? My first "new" snowmobile was an Arctic Cat El Tigre 6000 ( 600 cc 2 stroke) and later decided to upgrade to a ZR 8000 ( 800 cc 2 stroke), I will be the first to admit I should have just stuck with my 600! Don't get me wrong, having about 40 more HP is awesome but the extra weight and almost too much power made it a handful in the tight trails that I ride in. I guarantee I could get through those trails faster on my 600 and with a lot less effort than on my 800 cc sleds! Just this last weekend I was riding some trails in Northern Michigan with a couple of buddies( my 2017 Sportsman 850 SP, 2004 Sportsman 700 and a 2000 Honda Recon 250). I tell you what even though 2 of us had some big bad Sportsmans, it was quite challenging to keep up with that little Honda ridden by an experienced rider on tight trails!! :-)
Thanks for the compliment, Wattz! I don't think that was off topic. Your snowmobile story sounds very similar to my Motorcycle story, ha! Thanks for sharing. Those little 250's can be quick! But your point is exactly what I was getting at. The rider's ability to ride matters more than just having a big machine. As always, thanks for you detailed input!
We have very technical trails where I’m from and I ride a motocross but almost all my friends who have quads are Renegades. It’s just a freak of nature and on a category of its own
If you are looking at a spot atv the another thing to notice is the ground clearance under the back axel is low to the ground so it will get stuck on rocks easier that a utility atv.
I had a Banshee that I put a lot of miles on. Never had any problems with it, not even a fouled spark plug. Then again I bought mine used but it was practically new and stock. Had to pay a premium for one that nice but it was worth it. Anyway, just find one that hasn't been modded too crazy and it should be reliable.
I choose the lower power and low displacement kymco models. They're basically #2 for reliability, only under Honda, (they helped develop their engine), they have nice suspension, and they've been selling my model (mxu 150) forever, and (in 2018) was still selling. Supposedly theyre super easy to repair and parts can be found. Super cheap, (my mom got hers for under 2 grand when it was relatively new) and parts are shared between multiple kymco models, (it uses MX'ER and Mongoose parts).
I’ve got a 2020 Outtie 650 XT Max (2up). Love the machine. Very comfortable ride for my wife and I. Top is 65mph. Don’t trail ride that fast. Faster would be pointless. Very informative video! Thanks!
A utility wheeler is good enough for me. I have a Polaris sportsman 500. I will have it a year coming in June. I used it during the gun deer season. It was a big help for me. My feet are in bad shape. It saved me a lot of walking that I couldn't have done. It carried me to the north side of the field where the deer like to go. Then one came out and I shot it. Then I tied it to the back of the wheeler and it carried me and my deer out. I like my wheeler. I will never hunt without it now.
I have 2. I have a 400 2 stroke 4x4 great for mud, trails and village roads it has stock racks and my dad loves it because he can cary stuff , and when he has time ha goes riding with me,than I have a sport 450 (yfz 450) love it. The only problems are that it's maybe too loud for the village and eats tires+no reverse
Get a new one. A used one, you are taking a big risk because you don’t know how it was used, and how it was taken care of. People will lie just to get rid of it and now you got issues to get it fixed. ( my opinion ) A 450 is the best size. Good ride, enough power, lots of options. Good trail riding machine.
Plus a lot of people beat it thru mud, etc. That plays Havok on the seals and differentials if you don't change the fluids frequently. I've only ridden one but 450 seems like a minimum for utility use. I'm sure you could get away with 250 but just for longevity a bit bigger is better.
I bought a used 450 foreman that had been a mudder but still in decent shape..I have replaced almost every seal. The rear diff, drive shaft, all cables, front brakes, carb, tie red ends, all vacuume lines, and the seat. I have just over 2k in it.
For my purpose. Moose hunting. Honda does the job. I’m not a mud bogger. Don’t need a high speed I need something dependable with some torque for pulling a wagon full of meat
Lol I still have a Yamaha Warrior 350 and love they thing. I've been riding for years and still have fun on it. Yeah, I have some bigger bikes but still love to go back to that old thing
Hell yeah man. I've got a 2005 Raptor 350 which is essentially the same as the warrior. Bought it brand new when I turned 18 and still have it. Great bike! I also have more powerful machines but I will never get rid of my 350. It's still on the original clutch and I ride it all the time even if it's a quick loop around the block. I've had a tusk heavy duty clutch sitting on standby for the last 4 years but haven't put it in because the original one is completely fine still. Now that they don't really make sport quads anymore the only way I'll separate from it is over my dead body. I love that thing.
2000 model Honda 300 fourtrax, ive drove just about every brand of four wheeler and by far this is the best overall. Not for speed but actual trail riding, cannot beat it.
My dad has a 2003 Honda fourtrax rancher and I ride it all the time.. he even still has the stock tires.. it’s super fast has great maneuverability, and is just overall reliable
Boy..I needed to see this..I grew up on dirt bikes..but I know Jack squat about 4 wheels...my son is 5 now and this vid REALLY is a big help..so excited to ride with him!! Thanks so much for this helpful info!!! Thumbs way up!
I have a 1999 Polaris Sportsman 500 and I'm perfectly happy with it. Got it last March, actually got it a year ago to this day. I've had one quad before it, a 2001 Yamaha Grizzly 600, but that thing was a POS. This Sportsman definitely isn't. It's reliable anyway, that model and year is known for being reliable, and on top of that I found it with 60 original hours on it which is insane to me. But that thing is perfect for my riding style. I'm not that invested in ATV riding, I don't need an 850cc or 1000cc heavy duty machine. I only go big bore for snowmobiles because I'm very invested in snowmobiling, I only like to ride the biggest and baddest 800+cc mountain sleds that go 0-100kph faster than you can blink, that's just how I ride snowmobiles. But that's not how I ride ATVs, it's just something for the summer to cruise around and occasionally I'll do some mudding with it but mostly just cruising through fields. I'm not invested in ATV/UTV riding, it's not my thing. Unlike my grandpa who gets a new fully specced out UTV every year lol. I just want something to cruise around and go through tight technical trails every now and again. The fastest I would ever go on an ATV is like 80kph and that's about how fast the 500 goes on a long enough straight. If I were to get another ATV, it would either be a Yamaha Raptor 350 or a Can Am XMR 650. I do enough mudding and technical trail riding to justify the Can Am, but the Raptor would realistically suit my riding style more. But you can find those for pretty cheap. So what I would realistically do is keep my Sportsman 500 and then also find a cheap Raptor 350. That would probably be in a couple years though
Looking for fun, good off road capabilities in all terrains...Scrambler/Sportsman or Renegade/Outlander..for reliability best choice is Honda then Yamaha..
We have a Kodiak utility Atv from 2005, thing still runs great so if your thinking of buying a utility Atv that's also fun to ride on the trails I'd strongly look towards Yamaha
I think it’s the same with pickups, the market for a robust, simple, reliable vehicle just isn’t as large as recreational and sports vehicles that look the part
Hey I’m a city boy that just moved at almost 40 to a 60 acre parcel in a rural area so I’m switching videos between band saw reviews, livestock tips, advice videos about excavators, farm ponds, natural building etc etc etc and this is the first video in literal months I’ve enjoyed so much I watched all the way through. You’re doing everything right, man and you should be proud
I have got be honesty here. No offense. NO it's not about the size and power, it is about RELIABILITY. Bottom line? yes it is about brand unfortunately. Off road vehicle. Let me see, you are about miles away from civilization help and your vehicle breaks! Got it? yes, RELIABILITY!

I want to buy my 11 year old granddaughter her 1st. ATV and I need to know what size to get her and what’s the difference between 110cc and 125cc, is that the engine size? I’m also looking for the best price...as u can see this is all new to me.
Watching this video about best fourwheeler for your budget and about to blow 15k on a canam renagade 1000
I have the 05 800 outlander and it still rips and can still fit a deer on the front
I don't see how a 350 or 400 is not enough for most people.
The fact. The picture shown for the cabin was in a place called Jarbaige Nevada and the fact it is the cabin our dairy owns is insane. Never thought I would find that cabin on a video
You don't own it.
Good job dude
So I know this video is an older one but I've had a little experience riding my friends scrambler 850s and I was wanting to get my own but are they worth it? I love riding faster and got a bunch of friends who want me to come riding with them as well.
I got a Honda foreman 500 2019 I sunk it in a pond and i took it out of the water it turned on right away
Litfamboi Savage you shouldn’t of done that check the oil
Glad to hear it's still running, but I would definitely give it a once over! Like Joseluis said, check the oil. You may need to drain the fuel and dry the spark plug / run a little desiel in there to dry it out as well if you are noticing issues.
If you do a quick search on UA-cam you should be able to find a couple good step by step guides to help you out.
That’s a Honda for you
Pleas see entire comment.
My step dad has 2 Kawasaki Brute Force 750 v-twins 1 for him 1 for my mom his is all done up it has a turbo chip mud grip tires etc. The one for my mom is completely stock and me and my two friends were getting into some hood rat sh*t long story short that stock one was going 70mph with all three of us on it... then I got a banshee 350 the year I got it i was in 11th grade, another long story short I never went to 11th grade
Man this is the most usefull video i found till now. It’s been a while i was looking for a so clear explication
I'm guessing your native language is portuguese or Spanish?
@@biggentallen italian
@@riccardocarlotti683 ok, it was the "explication" that gave it away. It's "explanation" I was a foreigner in brasil for a couple years and I would guess at a lot of words because the patterns between the two languages seemed consistent then every once in a while the words was just slightly different. I believe I was calling the portuguese word "explicação" as "explanação" for a while. Not trying to insult your english. English is my native language and sometimes I still throw portuguese into it on accident.
I bought a brand new yellow 400EX in 2001 and rode it for 15 years. 15 years and not a single break of anything. Only oil changes and tires. If you know how to ride a sport quad there are few places you cant follow the 4x4 guys. There was never a hill they could climb that I also couldn't nail with sheer momentum and climb too. Big mud holes I could always find a way around. I miss the sport quad glory days. I rode a new Sportsman recently and it felt like riding a aircraft carrier. That Scrambler is NOT a sport quad either...its just a stripped down Sportsman. You roll them down a hill its done, totaled. A real sport quad you can save and not roll in the first place by hopping off, or as in the film here they can roll over and keep on going. Theres only 1 sport quad left today...the Raptor.
And the YFZ450R
How many miles?
I’m looking to daily driven a ATV lol
@@alexguev3251 then get a 650 Honda
Just recently got my self a 99 400ex
"The best of both worlds, but greatest of neither" I fukin love that dude.🤙
Comes down to this
Teens - sport quad
Parents - utility
@toast27 do ya know any good utility atvs
You're going to put a team on a 60 horsepower quad. I guess you haven't ridden a yfz450 and you can call yourself old stick with sport much funner
@Issei hyouto , there's only three sports quads worth having the YFZ 450, Suzuki quadzilla, Yamaha banshee
moe green nah Honda 400 EX, TRX 450R and Polaris predator 500 too
@@brianmendoza2750 Id also add a 03-09 Suzuki ltz 400,
For me personally, I loved my Honda 300 EX years ago. Great to learn on, very versatile. Basically was marketed as a sport utility, but easily converted to full sport. I rode that thing for 9 years, HARD. Never had any major issues.
Now that Im older, I wouldnt trade my 2000 Arctic Cat 500 4x4 for anything. Its not going to win many races, but its comfortable, reliable even at 20 years old, plows 2 foot of snow like nothing and havent bogged in a mud hole yet that people on newer quads wouldnt dare try.
All comes down to what kind of riding you're looking for like said in the video to get the most enjoyment. But those 2 I listed above were both great.
btw u said people with newer quads wouldnt dare try to go in a mudhole! That wouldn't be true! If i had the money for one, I would definitely go in a mudhole when I passed the break in period!
How are the Honda trx machines?
You didn't say the word "vehicle" once in this video lol.
Machine
Awesome job! I'd love a more sport oriented ATV, but being a fatty... I'll stick something big enough for me, and cargo room for my sandwic...... tools.
😆 thanks brother.
Well the sportsman 1000 definitely toes the line between sport utility and just utility! Especially with a few mods, the beast could probably keep up with say the scrambler! It's sort of one of those, "yea technically it's a utility machine" 🤣
Love your channel by the way.
If you mean me.. Thanks!!! We all love some Navigate Offroad too!
Heavy racks.... puts a pic of a Polaris with its plastic racks🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Hopefully you do realize they reinforce the sportsman’s racks with metal
I have carried just about everything on my Polaris racks from tools to woods to deer and moose and way more weight than recommended. Never an issue. Not a crack or ding.
A moose?! 😂
Jim Brown polaris are good but arent the new ones more problematic?
@@cobyallensworth1607 welcome to canada, want some syrup on your way in?😂
Make sport quads great again lol should have included a 450 sport quad rather than a 400ex. 400s are low maintenance compared to every make and model of sport 450 ever made (greasing parts, changing oil frequently, tightening bolts) just another thing to think about when looking to purchase an atv.
For me, I have found that I prefer the big single engines over the v-twins. It's a more simple setup, and tends to feel better in the bottom end. Sure, the twins have longer legs, but 99% of the time that is a non-factor. I also really like the sport-utility segment. That being said, you can typically trim the fat off of the utility machines, get better shocks, and have the same thing.
Thanks for the input, Rodney. I agree that a large amount of the time the V-twin is a non factor. Then again, I personally do more trail riding that speeding down routes or more open spaces. So I think riding style plays a role there as well.
Big fan of the 400ex.. they can take a beating and very simple to work on 👍🏻
Nahhhhhhhh buy a dirt bike
Haha I like how they say “heavy duty racks” as they show the Polaris plastic racks and not even the steel or metal ones.
I have a 1997 350 warrior with a big bore kit bored out to a 373 with a stage 2 hot cam and its by far fast enough to have fun enough but also has the power to do work around the house I would deffintly prefer a warrior over anything cause its made for work and fun
I'm getting a '99 350 warrior in 2 weeks and I'm honestly super excited. How does yours do on steep climbs?
@@naylor7495 it does wonders just put it in 2nd or 3rd gear and pin it and it will do just about anything😂😂
Could I ask you a question? How are you doing? What do I do if I’m gonna buy me a Polaris four wheeler for Polaris dealership but I want to four wheeler with automatic and Bluetooth and power store easy arrive I’m gonna buy how do I get a phone die any money down doing credit❤❤❤
They have “desert seats” for sport quads ... its just more padding in the seat 💺 but still not comfortable lol
Gabino Barrera get fat and you’ll basically have an extra layer on your ass as of right now I’m working on it😅😭😂
Why not have 2 I had a 700XX for going fast, high speed trails, jumpd, mx style riding. Also had a 420 Rancher for cruising rock crawling working around the house.
Timm Marshall not having that much money....
@@gageschmoll7052 understandable I bought one then the other a few years later. Now they're both gone and I have a Wildcat 1000 X.
Timm Marshall yeah I’m not speaking for myself just trying to speak for everyone
Wife & i been riding 30yrs
Had many machines. Don't need any more then a 500cc atv. Been all over the state. Perfectly happy!
This really helps, thank you for elaborating your points very well. The rambling, not an issue, if we have time to listen, we will. Thanks again.
Good info, thanks for the video. 1st time purchasing an ATV. Recently purchased some land and was looking for a good ride. I've always rode a buddy's or rented so I never had to worry about these kind of things. Helped my purchasing decision. Cheers
Hey Ben, great to hear it was helpful! Congrats on the land! What state did you get some land in?
I am 43 now and about to sell my yfz 450 sport quad and just bought a polaris sportsman. I love to go fast but being comfortable is now more important to me. That being said I am looking into the can am renegade 800x. It's 4x4, automatic, and crazy fast. My so will ride the Polaris. He tried learning on a blaster and the trails we ride are too extreme. He wants automatic
Don't get him automatic, he needs to learn
I’ve never thought about being comfortable while riding every quad has been comfortable and it’ll be my 10th year in a few days.
I’ve got an old 87 trx250r for sale. Starts first kick, bored to 360cc, full bore plastics, asv levers. Straight cut gears, cool head, comes with sand and dirt tires. Lol. Buying older isn’t that cheap.
Can one even say he’s had fun in the Midwest without riding one of these in the woods ?
An ATV is a must in Canada, the amount of Crown land is endless.
Here something some quad people do they literally do anything that they know gone damage it then they sad when they gotta take it to the shop
Kawasaki Prairie 650
Big engine, reliable, cvt, 4x4 with diff lock, racks and towing capacity, solid axle for sporty riding
Quads with metal racks are king!
Very good video! You are spot on about engine size. Kind of off subject ? My first "new" snowmobile was an Arctic Cat El Tigre 6000 ( 600 cc 2 stroke) and later decided to upgrade to a ZR 8000 ( 800 cc 2 stroke), I will be the first to admit I should have just stuck with my 600! Don't get me wrong, having about 40 more HP is awesome but the extra weight and almost too much power made it a handful in the tight trails that I ride in. I guarantee I could get through those trails faster on my 600 and with a lot less effort than on my 800 cc sleds!
Just this last weekend I was riding some trails in Northern Michigan with a couple of buddies( my 2017 Sportsman 850 SP, 2004 Sportsman 700 and a 2000 Honda Recon 250). I tell you what even though 2 of us had some big bad Sportsmans, it was quite challenging to keep up with that little Honda ridden by an experienced rider on tight trails!! :-)
Thanks for the compliment, Wattz! I don't think that was off topic. Your snowmobile story sounds very similar to my Motorcycle story, ha! Thanks for sharing.
Those little 250's can be quick! But your point is exactly what I was getting at. The rider's ability to ride matters more than just having a big machine.
As always, thanks for you detailed input!
We have very technical trails where I’m from and I ride a motocross but almost all my friends who have quads are Renegades. It’s just a freak of nature and on a category of its own
If you are looking at a spot atv the another thing to notice is the ground clearance under the back axel is low to the ground so it will get stuck on rocks easier that a utility atv.
I have a Polaris and they aren't that reliable, decent speed and power but I want a banshee 350
A banshee isnt that reliable as well... But they are awesome
I had a Banshee that I put a lot of miles on. Never had any problems with it, not even a fouled spark plug. Then again I bought mine used but it was practically new and stock. Had to pay a premium for one that nice but it was worth it. Anyway, just find one that hasn't been modded too crazy and it should be reliable.
What is the name of the one that is next to you in the hole video
Or the link to where you got it
OR is it custom
and you constantly want to break down buy a polaris
I choose the lower power and low displacement kymco models. They're basically #2 for reliability, only under Honda, (they helped develop their engine), they have nice suspension, and they've been selling my model (mxu 150) forever, and (in 2018) was still selling. Supposedly theyre super easy to repair and parts can be found. Super cheap, (my mom got hers for under 2 grand when it was relatively new) and parts are shared between multiple kymco models, (it uses MX'ER and Mongoose parts).
I’ve got a 2020 Outtie 650 XT Max (2up). Love the machine. Very comfortable ride for my wife and I. Top is 65mph. Don’t trail ride that fast. Faster would be pointless.
Very informative video! Thanks!
A utility wheeler is good enough for me. I have a Polaris sportsman 500. I will have it a year coming in June. I used it during the gun deer season. It was a big help for me. My feet are in bad shape. It saved me a lot of walking that I couldn't have done. It carried me to the north side of the field where the deer like to go. Then one came out and I shot it. Then I tied it to the back of the wheeler and it carried me and my deer out. I like my wheeler. I will never hunt without it now.
I have 2. I have a 400 2 stroke 4x4 great for mud, trails and village roads it has stock racks and my dad loves it because he can cary stuff , and when he has time ha goes riding with me,than I have a sport 450 (yfz 450) love it. The only problems are that it's maybe too loud for the village and eats tires+no reverse
The reverse is always a bummer. At least they are light and easy to move. Used to have a Honda 400...that was a great machine!
Get a new one. A used one, you are taking a big risk because you don’t know how it was used, and how it was taken care of. People will lie just to get rid of it and now you got issues to get it fixed. ( my opinion ) A 450 is the best size. Good ride, enough power, lots of options. Good trail riding machine.
Plus a lot of people beat it thru mud, etc. That plays Havok on the seals and differentials if you don't change the fluids frequently. I've only ridden one but 450 seems like a minimum for utility use. I'm sure you could get away with 250 but just for longevity a bit bigger is better.
I bought a used 450 foreman that had been a mudder but still in decent shape..I have replaced almost every seal. The rear diff, drive shaft, all cables, front brakes, carb, tie red ends, all vacuume lines, and the seat. I have just over 2k in it.
@@johnorcutt1390
Thats what I'm talking about.
@@0xsergy it's a decent deal to me. I dont have any payments and it is a decent wheeler.
350cc for a teen? I moved up to your polaris scrambler 500 at the age of 10! I am surprised im not dead yet
Great video! would you like some videos and comments of why I purchased a renegade xmr 1000r? 👊
Thanks, Mark and absolutely! Let's hear your reasons brother!
For my purpose. Moose hunting. Honda does the job. I’m not a mud bogger. Don’t need a high speed I need something dependable with some torque for pulling a wagon full of meat
Try both of them at the dealer. They gave me 0 issues asking to sit and drive one around their property. I Got a utv.
This is the most useful video out there. It helped so much. I went with a used 2008 Polaris Sportsman 500 H.O.
Lol I still have a Yamaha Warrior 350 and love they thing. I've been riding for years and still have fun on it. Yeah, I have some bigger bikes but still love to go back to that old thing
Hell yeah man. I've got a 2005 Raptor 350 which is essentially the same as the warrior. Bought it brand new when I turned 18 and still have it. Great bike! I also have more powerful machines but I will never get rid of my 350. It's still on the original clutch and I ride it all the time even if it's a quick loop around the block. I've had a tusk heavy duty clutch sitting on standby for the last 4 years but haven't put it in because the original one is completely fine still. Now that they don't really make sport quads anymore the only way I'll separate from it is over my dead body. I love that thing.
I think the saying you were looking for during your sport utility "hybrid" sections is: a jack of all trades is a master of none.
2000 model Honda 300 fourtrax, ive drove just about every brand of four wheeler and by far this is the best overall. Not for speed but actual trail riding, cannot beat it.
Yep, that thing'll stop to nothing
My dad has a 2003 Honda fourtrax rancher and I ride it all the time.. he even still has the stock tires.. it’s super fast has great maneuverability, and is just overall reliable
I gotta 2001 350 fourtrax I had it out today and I still love it Id take an older Honda over a newer Polaris any day of the week
loved my 98. got it for $200 and put about $200 into it. was a tank. now i ride a 2018 rancher 420 4wd. kinda the modern day 300
Boy..I needed to see this..I grew up on dirt bikes..but I know Jack squat about 4 wheels...my son is 5 now and this vid REALLY is a big help..so excited to ride with him!! Thanks so much for this helpful info!!! Thumbs way up!
I have a 1999 Polaris Sportsman 500 and I'm perfectly happy with it. Got it last March, actually got it a year ago to this day. I've had one quad before it, a 2001 Yamaha Grizzly 600, but that thing was a POS. This Sportsman definitely isn't. It's reliable anyway, that model and year is known for being reliable, and on top of that I found it with 60 original hours on it which is insane to me. But that thing is perfect for my riding style. I'm not that invested in ATV riding, I don't need an 850cc or 1000cc heavy duty machine. I only go big bore for snowmobiles because I'm very invested in snowmobiling, I only like to ride the biggest and baddest 800+cc mountain sleds that go 0-100kph faster than you can blink, that's just how I ride snowmobiles. But that's not how I ride ATVs, it's just something for the summer to cruise around and occasionally I'll do some mudding with it but mostly just cruising through fields. I'm not invested in ATV/UTV riding, it's not my thing. Unlike my grandpa who gets a new fully specced out UTV every year lol. I just want something to cruise around and go through tight technical trails every now and again. The fastest I would ever go on an ATV is like 80kph and that's about how fast the 500 goes on a long enough straight. If I were to get another ATV, it would either be a Yamaha Raptor 350 or a Can Am XMR 650. I do enough mudding and technical trail riding to justify the Can Am, but the Raptor would realistically suit my riding style more. But you can find those for pretty cheap. So what I would realistically do is keep my Sportsman 500 and then also find a cheap Raptor 350. That would probably be in a couple years though
Raptor all the way, put one in your truck and never look back. Check out my son and I ripping up the woods. ua-cam.com/video/fhBIek3bRZ0/v-deo.html
I want one that can rip it up but still carry a passenger and have racks to carry things
Same
viper39 Same, but Polaris scrambler 850 or 1000 is the way to go for us
Looking for fun, good off road capabilities in all terrains...Scrambler/Sportsman or Renegade/Outlander..for reliability best choice is Honda then Yamaha..
Good input, thanks Spliffsized!
Right on!
We have a Kodiak utility Atv from
2005, thing still runs great so if your thinking of buying a utility Atv that's also fun to ride on the trails I'd strongly look towards Yamaha
I feel everything is either sport or a utility sport these days. To get a good old utility workhorse is out of the question.
Same
I think it’s the same with pickups, the market for a robust, simple, reliable vehicle just isn’t as large as recreational and sports vehicles that look the part

Hey I’m a city boy that just moved at almost 40 to a 60 acre parcel in a rural area so I’m switching videos between band saw reviews, livestock tips, advice videos about excavators, farm ponds, natural building etc etc etc and this is the first video in literal months I’ve enjoyed so much I watched all the way through. You’re doing everything right, man and you should be proud
I have got be honesty here. No offense. NO it's not about the size and power, it is about RELIABILITY. Bottom line? yes it is about brand unfortunately. Off road vehicle. Let me see, you are about miles away from civilization help and your vehicle breaks! Got it? yes, RELIABILITY!
I don’t think buying a 4-5 years old machine with 6-7k mikes on it to save 1000-1200$ is worth IMO.
