No doubt about it, ATV’s, or quads as they’re also known, can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. When shopping for cheap ATVs make sure that you’re not sacrificing quality and safety for the sake of a few bucks.

Some people pay more than twenty thousand dollars for their ATVs, equipment, and accessories and add-ons. That doesn’t mean you have to, and as a matter of fact, ATVing doesn’t have to be expensive. Comparative shopping, know what you want, and then going on an ATVS for cheap hunt is the best way to get started.

Keep in mind that in addition to the ATV or quad you choose, you’ll also need something to haul it in if you don’t own a truck. You’ll also most likely need, or want, accessories and tools and supplies for the upkeep and maintenance of your ATV. Riding gear can also be an extra and necessary expense, so by the time most people start shopping for a particular type of ATVs for cheap, they want just that: cheap.

What you spend on your ATV will depend on what you’re riding for. Are you intending your ATV to be used primarily for pleasure, seasonal hunting expeditions, or are you thinking of entering races and cross-country competitions? If you’re wanting to ATV for pleasure, then a model without a bunch of extra bells and whistles will suit your needs. Otherwise, hold onto your hat and be prepared to take a hit in your wallet.

Just a quick little note to add, You haven't got to go and buy the best atv on the market to have the best atv in your group. You would be better off buying a cheaper atv with a good body and a strong engine and then buy aftermarket parts to make an bike that will suit your needs the best. Doing this will also add more pride to your bike as you will have made it yourself instead of buying something that some stranger designed.

Atvs are fun to ride on.. They are very useful when it comes to riding on sand or snow... Theirs also something known as UTVs, Utility terrain vehicles...!!

Yeah, them utv's have come onto the market strong through the last few years but I don't see them as being as much fun for jumping, and dancing through the gravel pits tho as you don't get to throw your weight around as much. Sure the Polaris Razr is geared toward the racer and is capable of taking jumps, I don't see it balencing well in the air. Don't get me wrong, one day I would like to get my hands on a UTV becuase I do think they'd be great for up to the cabin and hunting.

The best thing to drive while your hunting would be a utv. Their quiet and can get you through anything in the woods plus you can haul your trophy in the back of a utv can't do that with a sports quad:D .

lol yeah......i can only laugh as I try picturing myself trying to secure quarters of moose onto the outlaw....one of the many reasons I don't take that bike hunting. Other problems include no where to put the gun, too loud and most importantly impossible to resist the urge to go fast lol
