Sport or Utility?

[Berditsmen]

I am going to sell my snomobile due to the lack of snow here in MN. I am looking at getting a 4wheeler but don't want to regret my decision shortly after. I Hunt, Ice fish and look to ride all year around. I do like the YFZ 450 because of the speed, able to jump etc. just like my sled. My dad has a Grizz if I wanted to go mudding or something and so does my roommate. Used Raptors and YFZ's are going for pretty cheap on craigslist vs. a grizz. I just see a sport quad as something cheap to take on the ditches and trails around the house and possibly some dune riding in the future who knows maybe some harescrambles. What do you think?

It all depends on your personality. As for hunting and ice fishing a sport quad is pretty much useless. For hunting you have no way to get you game back to the truck and as for ice fishing; a sport quad sends so much power to the axles that if you stop in the snow, unless its really really hard and you have a real soft takeoff, as soon as you touch the throttle you will spin her down to the axles in a matter of seconds. I'm not trying to scare you away from sport quads because I have one myself and I believe it is one of the most fun things to ride.
