ATV's are solid performers if you know how to ride them. I have done some pretty interesting stuff on them, I am probably going to get a side by side eventually. My wife likes to ATV but there are times she would rather be a passenger and take pictures. Plus I could take my pup along when she doesn't go. I have been eyeballing a Can-am Maverick Sport RC.

M/B, I agree with you on the ATV's and side by sides. While I enjoy my little Arctic Cat 250, I would like to have a side by side so that my wife could join me tooling around our property. Up in central Illinois my brother in law has a side by side and we always go tooling around his 40 plus acreage with trails cut out in the woods.

Well dang. Lost my post. Patty and I are looking about a Side by Side. Just something simple, don't need 4X4 but would like enough power/size to spend an afternoon in if we wanted to. Y'all got any suggestions?

A lot is going to depend on the trails you plan on riding. Width etc. I will say 4x4 is a must. Wet leaves can suck. Mud can really suck.

I suggest looking and sitting in them. Rent one of you can. None are cheap. Some are insanely priced.

I'm looking for a Jack of all trades with the one I want. It will spend time in the mountains in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming with occasional trips to dunes and Slick rock in Utah.

But there are a bunch of different ones to choose from.

I don’t mess with knives so much anymore. Fishing, hunting and guns in general for me.

My brother in law has a Yamaha Wolverine 4 X 4, and it is a LOT of fun. Even if you don't "hot dog" it the 4 wheel drive is nice to have.

Do you prefer hand guns or rifles, and what do you like to hunt?

I don't doubt you about them being performers. They can go alot of places that a side by side can't slot easier too.

We mainly want one to tool around in town (in MO. you can ride an UTV/Side by side on ANY ROADWAY within 5 miles of your home. Not legal to do that on a golf cart. Plus going out to the BIL's place about 4.9 miles away and just enjoying the outdoors. MIGHT occasionally get up into "the hills" but nothing really way back and beyond. All on established roads of some kind or at least trails.

We just want one powerful enough for the two of us to cruise maybe 40mph or so and with a small bed to hall rocks or what not.

Get one Randy, I think both of you would enjoy it.

We are thinking about it. May go Tomorrow or Tuesday looking around.

Good luck on the hunt. And make sure you let Patty drive it as well!
