Hey folks, just wondering what you think is too small a quad and why? I'm not really in the market at this very moment, but I am keeping my eyes open just in case i see a really good deal.
i saw a 450 haul a young bull moose out of the bush last year, mind you it was petal to the metal, but they still got it out through some pretty thick brush.
do you guys think a 450 is too small for hunting and stuff?
thanks a lot.

I had a Vinson 500 for years and I was very pleased with it even when all my buds drove big bores. The 450 /500 are light and versatile yet still posses low torque power Yet do not have the power to dig themselves into big holes. I think it's more about riding ability then how big a motor Food for thought
I have a King Quad 500cc and it's areally good size for riding in the bush, hills and hunting even for 2 peoples on it. Lots of power and you don't want to race with your quad anyway. A 700cc is heavier and take more gas so shorter ride or day on the same tank.
Yamaha and Suzuki are good buy for the money but the used ones are not cheap. Check the new ones.

I have a 2000 Honda TRX 350. Bulletproof, great on fuel and very light for crossing soft spots. It'll spin down to the diffs before it ever powers out as well.
Still hunting with the first 4x4 that Honda brought out in 1986.(Honda 350)
They are tough,not to many machines that you can mount a winch in front and the rear. I just use it for hunting ,Still under 500 miles on it.
