In the market for an Sports Utility atv

[MachFly]

I'm trying to figure out what's the advantage of having an ATV over a dirt bike? (never had either one)
The way I see it a dirt bike is typically faster, more maneuverable, and generally has better off-road capability. The only advantage that comes to mind of an ATV is that the 4 wheels wont let it fall.

you have to leave the mal parking lot to see it!

the only thing I ever see in a mall parking lot is Jeeps (don't get me wrong, I'd love to have one).

From my experience four wheels are more dangerous than two, but I've been riding for twentysix years.

Quad can carry more crap on it then a bike, other then that Bike>Quad every time

[F22RaptorDude]

Four wheelers are more stable, speedy (some are) and have more off road capabilities than dirt bikes.

You could not take a dirt bike in places I go..... they won't make it.

I go through most everything any quad can go through. It'll run 60 mph, has 4 lock hi and low. You can set them up to run well over 100 if you need that.

For hunting , work, or play you can't beat a side x side.

IMHO of course.

Very agreeable, Atv's are for more woodsy area's. Dirt bikes are for racing and not any other possibilities

lol. Try the cape york ride one day (err week) it would suck on a quad. A well set up enduro bike has a lot more uses than just racing.

You can take a dirt bike into the woods, just got to watch out for trees.

I can name quite a few:  try to pull a deer out of the woods on 2 wheels,  move a trailer around with two wheels,  or carry hunting equipment (stands, ladders, feeders) in and out of the woods on 2 wheels.

My main point on why i want a atv apposed to a dirt bike

We built this add-on for a John Deere diesel side x side. We added a platform in the back with seating for two. Added a hydraulic lift unit in front with swivel seating for two handicapped individuals. The front lift unit will set on the ground to load the two in the front. After they are buckled in the unit will lift hydraulicly for ground clearance. There are 2 long gun holders in the front along with cup holders. The back features holders for 4 long guns and 2 medium coolers.The front operates with a controller much like one on a winch.

I'd hate to have to pay for all that Diamond plate.  That's pretty awesome Shuff!

Actually that alumabrite deck plate is cheap compared to most materials we deal with. All of it, including the tube, was cut on our laser.
