I got a 400ex and my dad has two ranchers and a 200x three wheeler! He only recently upgraded to the "Lazy boy" of ATV's (Polaris 550 XP) Thats what he calls it.

We have a student in my class that has cerebral palsy where I work and his cooridination is very limited. I hope you don't mind me asking, but can she safely operate an ATV? The student we have can see but his brain cannot process things properly and is more or less blind at certain distances.

I would say no, its like driving a car. Now someone could take the student on a ride but as far as operating on their own, I wouldn't advise it.

Yamaha ftw I have a 2007 grizzly with a bunch of mods and would never buy anything else beside a Yamaha. Ive run their dirt bikes from 100ccs to 450cc and never had any major issues beside normal maintenance. I ride with people with a Polaris 800 twin and 700's. they have both been nothing but problems the 800 has to go to the shop almost every ride and he doesn't ride as hard as me. I used to have a 400 sportsman, it was alright just seems that they aren't as innovative as I would like to see. They use weaker parts in the frame and such compared to my grizzly... whatever you get though get a 4x4 with a real good winch.

No Your not, this was my 98' 300ex and I will be buying either a 400ex or 450r. I love Honda's.

Either Yamaha, Polaris or Can-Am are good ones. I could also consider that diesel-powered Arctic Cat...

I think that's what he was getting at. Wanting something so she could ride in it.

Exactly. Hunter loves riding around in the golf cart and especially if you take turns fast. She would be thrilled to ride in an ATV with all the bumps and movement it can do on the trails. She loves roller coasters, just can't go on many since most require you to hold on.
