So, being as I am 6'3" tall, 245lbs and legally disabled with kidney disease and gout from said disease, how big of a 4 wheeler do I need, in your opinions? Smaller equalls lower fuel costs and maybe eaier to muscle it around. Larger gives me exactly what? And I 'need' larger, exactly why?
I am kinda leaning toward the 400cc units, with the leader of the pack being a Polaris in MT that is a two stroke "Explorer" model but there are some KAwasaki 400's closer to home and 4 stroke engines.
THANKS in advance, for all of the input! I always get good experience based advice here and this is a pretty sizeable decision for me.
I'd stick with the 400cc units and up, just be sure it has 4x4.
A 400 with 4x4 will get a lot done. I have rode one quite a bit, a 10 or 12 year old Yammi 400, and it does fine doing everything asked of it. Its been used to haul deer, drag downed trees and pull utility carts.
saferiman, my physical dimensions are the same as yours and have a few limitations due to a stroke. One arm, left legs is kinda on the way out and I could probably get arrested for being drunk in public when you see me walk.
OK, I have a Kawasaki 750 Brute with a lot of motor work and it will stand straight up when the throttle is hit and then I have a 2011 yamaha 450 Grizzly with power steering that I use for ALL my utility and hunting needs. The 750 Brute gathers dust and I loan it to friends for trail rides.
MadMooner hit it.
I don't know what your riding conditions are but tire selection is gonna be your next question.
Weather permitting the 450 Grizz gets ridden on a daily basis on logging, mining roads as well as the several hundred acres of steep wooded terrain around the house.
