    Quads

    Looking to get a new ATV, I previously owned a 2002 Yamaha Kodiak 400. What should I be looking at in 2021?

    What do you want to do with it?

    What features are you looking for? What is your riding level of experience? How much are you going to use it?

    I put 8000km on the last one. Cruising FSR’s, hauling the odd moose or elk out and dinking around on the property.

    Is that with YOU in front, or HIM in front?

    That makes a difference. If a smaller machine in leading the pack then big bikes tend to be driven at lower RPM's and burn LESS fuel covering the same distances....

    Would be tough to go wrong with another Yamaha or Honda in the 500cc range. Or if you want to live a little, a 650 Can Am. Can Am will ride smoother and get better traction, and be more stable than the Yamaha or Honda in off camber or high speed situations. The 650 is very driveable, and doesn't have the same sort of power delivery that the bigger machines do. Tougher to get in bad situations.
