[quote=“BREETIME,post:25,topic:45256"”] buy my bike steve,and good luck riding the tracks by our houses. challenging ride [/quote] Ehh Not so sure I should start out on 2 wheels lol, I’ve never ridden anything like this before. [quote=“num482,post:27,topic:45256"”] There are a few dealers in the area, Hamburg Honda, Ray Lakes Motor Sports, Western NY cycle… I have rode a lot of quads in my 16 years of riding, Honda has been my choice for sport/racing quads for the awesome geometry, out of the box handling, and reliability. Plus after market support. Yamaha sport/race quads are also good (450, 700). If you were to even think about Suzuki then the lt450r is the only choice. I really think the 400ex will be a good balance between power, weight, handling, and reliability for a first time rider. It will fly threw the air, easy to throw around on the trail, and very easy to drive. Edit: Since you will be just starting out, gear is important. You will most likely flip it, it happens to everyone. A chest protector is a very good investment. [/quote] Thanks for the good info, I figure I’ll flip it a few times. Won’t be fun considering how small I am lol. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/looking-into-getting-an-atv/45256)._
