Honda Foreman 400ex. push button shifting. good power to gas consumption ratio. big enough to fit a woman on the back or gear.
buy USED.

bombardier quads can take tons of abuse and can move pretty quick like the ds650 for their sport model(thats 2wd) or look at their work models.

Something like the 650 is a beast on gas.

Honda Rancher- My buddy has one and it take anything you throw at it and easy to maintain. I also owned a Yamaha Wolverine 350 4x4 and that was a good quad as it was a little sporty. Both aren’t made for 2 people but will fit.

a foreman and a 400ex are 2 diff quads…
but yeah, a rancher, foreman or vinson 500 are all really good quads for what your looking for, they are all pretty fast, handle well and can take whatever mud you put them threw, a wolverine was kinda meh on power

I have a Yamaha Kodiak 400 4x4 and it’s a great all around quad. Bought it new in 2004 and haven’t had a single problem with it to this day.

the foremans are awesome quads, the bayou is pretty good too for being a 2wd, you probably wont even need 4wd, i had a set of dirt devils on my ozark250 which is 2wd and it kept up with all the 4wd quads in mud bogs, just obviously not extremely deep ruts.

the bayou was not good for going up a steep gravel incline, just spun the tires. It was quick though.

Had lots of quads…always had the best luck with the Hondas as mentioned here and Yamahas. Had a kawasaki prairie for like 10 years now, also a great ATV.

The wolverine is more of a sport quad whereas the Kodiak is more utility-based.
