I see more and more of those each time I'm at the track. They look like a lot of fun. Which ones have you been looking at?

4x4 usless in snow? You ain't riding it right bitch.
That's like sayin your Yota is usless in snow!
Worst case, buy some tracks for it.

Buddy of mine is an Arctic Cat tech, got to test some tracks and the new 1000 quad.
Said the quad with the tracks was pulling out sleds that were getting stuck in the powder!

I was talking about ATV's and in the deep snow you guys have yeah... my Yota would be have a hell of a time as it doesn't have the power to plow through that shit off road... now on trail runs with snow I'm good cause we don't usually have 2-3' of standing snow.

get a snowmachine and do 80 across all that open land...

Still rather have a 4 wheeler...

Trust me, it's crazy what you can do with them.
I've seen a sport quad (450R suzuki) with skis and duals on the back out run a 600 sled.

I'd go with the ATV and spend the extra money on skis and tracks. Have a blast in the summer on 4 wheels and have a blast in the winter with a "sled" all while spending less than the cost of buying each.

Well... tracks get kinda spendy... but I do agree!

After discovering how much fun street bikes are, I am now looking into getting a used dirt bike after the summer is over. I figure GA is a good place to own one, and back country dirt trails have to be just as much fun if not more fun then street riding. Can't compare it to a track yet, but I am sure I will love that just as much.

There's a guy on another forum selling a DRZ400 super moto for $3100... It's an '05.
