Im going to buy a new Quad sometime soon, maybe now no later than march. It will be the first bike I own, but I have begged and borrowed a few older models over the years to ride with buds.
Im looking at the Xtp in 850, maybe an 800 if I can find a deal on last years stuff. Im torn between the Max, or standard one up. I have a boy who will be riding with me a bit probably by end of summer and definatley next year, as hes too young now, and certianly for his own bike for a while. Theres also my wife who would like to come for tours and maybe some fishin.
Ill ride mostly logging and fire roads, some rough powerlines. I live in the mountians, pretty dry, alot of rocks and shale, sage brush fields, no boggin but theres some small holes of clay like muck I will hit. Going to ride year round, I hunt and Ice fish, snow shoe etc.
I know the max climbs better because of the long wheel base, tight technical turns shouldnt be an issue, high center maybe, the storage space would be great, i hear it handles mud and rough better but is a matter of opinion.
The single seems it may be a bit sportier, but I cant think of anything it can do the max cant, other that its well over 1000$$ cheaper.
What am I missing? Should I pony up for the max, or just go with the single?
I would reall like to hear from people who have both.
