    Im a proud owner of a 05 polaris Sportsman 600 4x4. it does everything I want it to. I think we like to blame the machines first and forget about the operator. 9 times out of 10 you have incapable people operating these machines so you will get people that dig big ruts and let there 10 year old daughters ride them. I dont have any complaints about the machines. I also have a 06 canam Bombidier 250 quad and I am sorry but it wont do half the stuff the larger more powerful sportsman can do. I do agree that if you flip these machines and you get caught under them you are screwed but you have to be smart and careful, much like you need to be on a 3 wheeler too. Enough people complain and place lawsuits for people not being smart on these machines and next thing you know they will be banned like our 3 wheelers.

    I can agree with most of you on the crowd or the general people that buy these machines and the arrogances they have because of them. ditto on the 400ex being a great all around quad.

    For the big chunks in thousand dollar increments that the new quadsters cost,
    , I think I'd almost rather have an old
    4 cyl 'army' jeep or subaru 4wd brat.

    Maybe even a bodywrecked subaru and smokewrench modifier convertible kit.

    Here's something noone else has touched on. On trikes, going through the VERY thick East Texas woods, the quads can't get through the areas that we can. The turning radius of a trike vs a quad is not even close. We had a couple Polaris 700 guys riding with us, and eventually had to turn back due to those guys not being able to cut through the trees. As we went back around and waited for them to get out, it was kinda funny watching these two try to turn around in the trees......Long story short, there are advantages to everything.........
