  |
|
OK everyone, I need your help please
My Aunt has recently decided she'd like to buy an ATV, a sport one at that
question is which one
She's 6'5 and about 57kg
she also said she might possibly try racing some day,my guess is enduro/desert, though to be honest I doubt it
price range is around $7000 give or take abit depending on bike, condition and location
All suggestions and advice welcome  |

| yes I did consider the 450's although I think she wants the option of reverse, might need a decent size seat as well because knowing her there'll probably be a passenger on it when camping etc |

yeah mate I know they are hence why my name is desertraptor LOL 
just worth noting she is new to quads and bikes were a long long time ago lol, so still not sure if the 450's and 700's might be too much for her, chances are she wont race but well you never know,
sorry my descriptions are so brief but well she hasnt given me much info to go on other than
price range, reverse, slim possibility of racing (dont know what type), her height/weight, 2up(big seat) etc etc  |

How about a Raptor 350. Bullet proof engine, great trail bike, reverse, taller than a 450 and enough power for inexperienced riders to handle. The wife had one for a while and we used to ride it two up on the block.

aah of course my old man had a 350 warrior back in yesteryear lol, same engine I believe
cant believe i didnt think of it, what she really needs to do is sit on a few different bikes and see how they feel, and how she responds to them
BTW fossil those huevos dvd's are wicked  |

mate if your aunt plans on being up here for a while, you might have to take into consideration that the nearest Polaris dealer for servicing and repairs is 1400 kay away in Geraldton. Yammy, Honda and Canam only locally.
