Hi, my name is Seth and i am getting an itch to get in to ATv-ing. I just got my first truck a 2015 ford f150. I been looking at the Yamaha grizzly 700 and the can am outlander xt 650-850. I will be mostly trail riding rocky, muddy and wet terrian. The location i will be riding at is the reading anthracite coal company’s land here in Pennsylvania. The trail is about 45-55 minutes away. I believe the trail is 31 miles long. My budget is around 11 grand. I might wait until next year to see what new models come out. I am really leaning towards the grizzly because it will fit in my 6.5 foot bed. I was looking at the 700 ESP SE because i really hate the blue and green colors. I was trying to find out how comparable is the outlander xt 650 to the grizzly 700 esp. Are they both pretty reliable machines? I did do some research into both of them and what they offer. The only thing is i don’t know what i really need since i haven’t driven an atv since i was young and even then it was only for a couple weeks. I love the outdoors and am a avid hiking/bushcrafter. I am thinking the best thing to do is ride both of them. I was also looking at the can am x mr 570, i know this is more of a mud rider and from what i read that’s it’s not the best for trail riding. Should i stay away from mud ATV’s since that what they are specified to do.
