I've had it!!! I'm tired of reading all the reviews and all brand blasting on all the boards.
You guys are the experts...so what should I get?

This will be my first quad and I'm 6' 225lbs. I know that I should get a 4 stroke since I don't know enough about quads yet and I want to be able to put-put around with the wifey when were out messing around the beach in Rocky Point. I know I won't be racing and riding around super aggressively. but I want to be able to have some fun when it's just me and guys riding around.

So with all the said, what would you suggest I buy for $2500-3250 on for a used quad?

I've been looking at Warriors, 400 & 450 Hondas, and a Blaster too (but I don't think I'm ready for a 2 stroke).

Please help.
THanks.

Good luck finding a 450 for $2,500-3,200!!
Just get a used 400ex or LTZ in decent shape and fix it up.

A 400ex or a z400 are good choices. But Hondas are reliable.

ur choices should be 400ex or Z400

ur weight and height, dont get a blaster, and a warrior is too underpowered.

a z400 would be good fast quad, pretty reliable and is plenty of power for beginer. 400ex is a little slow but reliable and is a perfect quad for a beginer and easy to maintain.

Z400 is faster and liquid cooled

400ex easy maintance and has a nice stance
