If you're at all worried about the plastic showing scratches spend the extra money on the camo. My wife can come back from a ride and her camo 400 doesn't even look dirty but my red 450 shows every scratch and spot of mud.

My Yamaha was blue and my Recon is olive green. I would recommend the green for hunting. But, I guess it depends on where you're going to hunt. (green woods, tan fields, etc.) I've covered the warning stickers with camo tape. I was afraid that someone would see the white of the stickers and shoot thinking that it was a deer tail. Some people will shoot at anything.

I hear if you get the camo it dosen't show the scratches as much but you hav to dish out another 3-400.? But if I had to get one, green hide it in the pine trees when you hunt in the winter

I purchased the green one. It blends in very well with Missouri spring foliage. It might stick out a little more in the fall unless you park it between some cedars.

I tried to purchase a Realtree camo unit, but there was only 3 available in the Missouri/Arkansas area and they all wanted MSRP. It wasn't worth $6400 to me. I found out that the camo units are only produced on limited runs during the fall, or at least that's what I was told.

One thing about the green Yamaha is that it shows every little blimish. Rubbing the plastic with a rubber hunting boot leaves a mark. I had my Honda Rancher for 3 years and the plastic looked better than the Yamaha after a few outings.

What color Yamaha did you purchase? Happy with the color? would you suggest a certain color over another? How a about resale value....relates to color of the ATV? Since I like to hunt, I was leaning towards Biege, but haven't been able to see this color in person?
