Need help picking a 4wheeler

[themgators511]

Okay i just recently became in love with riding 4 wheelers, and sold my sound system so that I could afford a 4wheeler. I'v never owned one before and don't really know much about them to tell you the truth. I'v found some really good looking yamaha raptors for sale on craigslist that I like, but i'm not quite sure that it would make for a good first bike for me. I'v been told to start out with something like a 2 stroke yamaha blaster, but I don't know if it's enough for me. When I get the four wheeler it is going to be used pretty much every weekend/all weekend and sometimes threw out the week. What would you guys recommend for a first bike for me?

i hate raptors personally since im from a motocross side of things, i think a good allround quad i would look at the yzf450 or trx450. both good quads

Can-Am outlander 500 is the one i had.

what kind of riding do you plan on doing?
trail, mud, track, etc....

raptors are fast and pretty nice but if you ever want to re-sell it the resale value is crap on them.
blasters can be bought cheap and are fun as hell depending on what kind of riding you are doing

i also suggest to go over to atvriders.com and do some resource on there forum. tons of quads for sale

Your in the south, your supposed to have a 4x4 fourwheeler! If not the YZF450 is a beast.

I'm going to be doing a lot of trail/track riding, not really looking for a 4x4.
