well im wondering which to go with. I really want to go towards a sport. but hten theres limited places i can go. i live next to lake washington which connects to uh st. johns river so its wet and 4 wheelers heaven. There seems to be alot of places to utility atvs around also..plus utilitys dont take to much to make them a beast.. good tires + a snorkle maybe and your ready to take on most htings.. sport is alot of money if i want to turn into a fast bike and maybe race..


any ideas?

what kind of riding do you do, any jumpin, freestyle? if you do just wheelies utilitys can do that and go more places than a sport.

I'd go with the utility if you are wanting to be able to ride around your house. Playin in the mud is like getting crack, do it once and your hooked. Grin The foreman is a good bike that will run forever. If you are getting a new one it has been turned in to a 500 now. Get the utility.

get a utility. Sounds like a sport bike wouldnt get you very far in your area. Sure you could go fast but thats not gonna matter when you sink a sport bike haha. Get you a utility an dig it up!! Honda is a good choice and the foreman 500 will do plenty of damage! Get you a 4x4 and have fun sprayin your sisters on that 325!! Grin
