I don't think this went well.
Bashing AATV's on a AATV site. Listen if you want a machine for less than 20,000. You can get it, and there has been improvements to the machines that make them a lot more than a 4 wheeler, but if you feel a 4 wheeler is more suited for your application please buy one and come ride with us and do what we do. (Please no riding on the safe trails when there is no mud) Everyone to his own. I drive my Avenger in the snow with no tracks but up North i think they are a good idea.
I always hate to see this type of thread where bashing machines seems to be the topic. The prices are what they are but you can build your own as some have and have a great machine or you can buy a used but very good quality machine. No one is saying you have to have a new machine to participate in this sport. This site has a wealth of people with parts, machines and knowledge to help it's member but if you poke them in the eye with a stick you will generally get a negative response.
So what exactly are you looking for and what price range?

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"
