I love my wolverine Scrambler is a nice choice too wont deny it. What I like about the wolverine is that its based off the same engine as the warrior which leaves countless aftermarket parts being interchangeable like my white brothers high lift cam etc etc. It's my baby I wouldnt trade her for anything. I can rip the mud and snow but I ride with mostly sport bikes lately and I can do either with ease.

My motto is to never ride a utility anywhere I can ride a sport bike. But, mud, snow, and big rocks are the places you will not only need a utility, but a 4wd utility. At your weight, you have the advantage of going with something on the smaller side. Take a good look at the Honda Ranchers.
The Wolverine is a nice concept. It attempts to be a 4wd sport bike. I would like to see more machines in this class.

If it is a "little" snow and mud, maybe a sport bike would do. Wheelies and jumping, are not the forte of a utility.

get a utility
Posted by: ridinsmooth
really if you want to jump and have speed you need a sport but i like the wolverine because its a sport look with a 4x4 or maybe the scrambler which is a automatic
second question YES there are aftermarket part to get the performance for the quad, i suggest you find on this forum a guy that has the same quad you want and ask him what part you will need to get performance
Hope this helps

You could get the best of both worlds and get a Scrambler 4x4, part sport, part utility!

I stilll say the scrambler in either 2x4 or 4x4.
The 2 stroke 400 can be modded to run with the best of em.

The older blasters would be an good starter quad for cheap. Major brake upgrade on '03.
If you want anything that is any bit ute go with a Scrambler, they can be had fairly cheap as well.

Yes the Sramblers and TB are autos.
Most all 4x4 utes are autos these days, or auto clutch.
Its going to be hard to find a 4x under 1500.
You may find and old Blaster or TB for that.
I wouldnt call the honda 300 4x a sporty ride. Hondas are usually slow and reliable.

Better than Blasters.
You will be surprised at how much a 2x4 will go through if riden correctly, but they still cant go some places 4x4s can.

I agree Mike and welcome to the forums.
Check out the Polaris specific forum, a lot of us Mi guys there.

I would say get a ute as well. I love zipping along on a sport, doing wheelies, jumps and stuff, but the ute is just more orientated for what I use the quad for. I'am planning on settling my dilema by buying a sport, so I have both. The ute I have has been great for everything I need, except for blazing speeds. Take a good look at what you will be doing with your quad most of the time, what other quads you will be riding with, and what your intentions for the future use of the quad will be. Then make an educated decision based on that info you come up with. Good luck!

MKay,
With what you want to do, a wolverine would be a perfect fit for you. Scramblers are nice too, but IMO scramblers don't go though the mud and snow as well as the wolverine.

I'd go with the Scrambler. I had a Wolverine about 10 years ago and wasn't impressed with the top speed.

If you need to go through snow and mud, get a utility, end of story.

hey,scrambler sounds good but isnt it automatic.I would like something with manual shifting. Hey i was wonderin what you thought of the honda fourtrax 300 4by4.. Will a scrambler be 1500 or under? I was thinking because of my budget i might have to get something cheap like a blaster unless i come across nice sport/utilty 4by4.
