The bottom line is that there is no best all around atv. It all depends on what kind of riding you do. I love the KQ for trails. I love the Foreman for mud and the Brute or Cam-Am for speed. Every quad has it's pros and cons so decide which type of riding you will do most and then find the bike that suits you're riding style.
thanks for the responses, thanks for the pics asmart82. Da_Mtg_Man i GUESS what i was asking was what the magazines like dirtwheels,quad and can't remember the others, have to say in shootouts, (usually riders of various skill levels and ages comparing and rating the machines on various terrains). i really do appreciate other peoples comments. but i have to disagree with you. there will always be quads, dirtbikes, streetbikes, cars, trucks, suvs at the TOP of the list. and of course there are those you wouldnt want your worst neighbor waisting his/her money on because you know from personal experiences of yours or your riding buddies that they stink or just have some constant issues. but maybe i'm the only one who reads (when i'm able to) the shootouts and tests on the machine i'm getting ready to spend between 6 and 9 thousand dollars on. no offense Da_Mtg_Man. thanks Kawa3 , anoriginal......
