in reality i think both have their strong points. personally i prefer sport just because i feel they're a  more versatile vehicle than the utility.

Sport Quads  are good for the dunes and the MX.  But Utility has that power that can go where a Sport Quad cant.  Its all what you use it for.

They are both top-of-the-line in their own ways. It all depends on what you want to do with it and how you like to ride.

In 4 wheel drive I can go through mud, deep water and trail-ride tough terrain. Put the bike in 2 wheel and I can blow donuts, ride wheelies (as I can in 4 wheel drive), take it over jumps and ride race tracks, granted it's not as nimble or responsive as a normal 2 wheeler, but gets the job done. Also I find that in 4 wheel drive I'm better at cornering on sugar sand trails.

Sport or utility? I have both Smiley

  I enjoy our sports, but have also ridden my nieces utility (which she used once to help track a suspect in the woods) she is a deputy sheriff in Levy county. It can go places the sport won't , also my future son -in - law is looking at utility this weekend...(will still let him ride with us... heehee...)

I have had both and I definatly like the utility better.  I agree with the lucky ones, both is the way to go. For know I will stick with the utility. Afast utility with good ITP ATR'S on it almost handles as good as my last sport bike anyway.

Has anybody ridden or know someone who owns a polaris scrambler-I was tossing the idea of the scrambler 500 when I was looking, but still not a big fan of being automatic for sport quad side of things-I like being able to control which gear I'm in goin' off of a jump!!

How about a 4x4 sport bike Smiley

Yeah it's called the Yamaha Wolverine.  It's considered both.  Only complaints are it needs a lower 1st gear for the utility side and 2WD for the sport side.  However both of those issues have been fixed by Highlifter.  Great bike.

I love sport quads but a nice utility would be the Brute force or grizzly because they are fast, i think.  If i would have any 2 quads it'd be the kfx 400 and the Brute force 650.  the perfect 2 quads.
