Hey all! I'm currently looking at atv's for me and the family. Looking at utility quads only, used, and midsize(300-500cc) for the wife and full size (500cc +) for me. Thinking nothing older than '05. Looking at doing trail riding 90% of the time, with the occasional muddy stuff when the mood strikes. I'd want a 4x4 for the big quad, but doesn't have to be for the wife.
I'm thinking the midsize should be big enough to put a seat on the back rack, but am I wrong? The seat on the back would be for the kiddos to ride along.
Any opinions on the Polaris products? Reliability, etc? I'm not leaning toward any brand in particular, but am leaning toward Honda and CanAm. Polaris quads are abundant on Craigslist, at least in this area. Lots of Polaris Predator 50s, which I'm thinking for my son (who's 5).
Is there a general mileage usage for atv's? Ie, would you shy away from a 5 year old quad with 8K miles?
TIA for any helpful insight!
