KFX700... or DS650... i think you'd be better off with the KFX though

For Dunes get a Banshee and build it,

If built right it will be very fast and will put a kfx and ds to shame.

The kfx 700 is automatic to so not as fun as manual, IMO

i have seen people your size and they did fine on them......

for dunes i would look into a built shee because the power would be good for the dunes and your size:D

I would go for the 650, they are getting pretty cheap and should have plenty of power for ya.

i personally dont like R's. they're ugly, and they are only a 250. i know they are fast and all, but why not just get a shee? besides brand loyalty...but then again i have everything: suzuki, honda, yami, polaris....well almost:p

another vote for ds650, those things are no slouches in the sand, I've had a few give me a hard time down there.

i think it also depends on how tall you are, have you ever seen a ds650, if you are a real tall guy, there is probably never been a more comfy quad for you. you could also look into a quadzilla 500. they are extremly fast, and are also physicly a very big quad
