buy your wife her own quad, or get a quad that is meant for 2up riding.

price, reliability, power is what im looking for. i like to ride trails fast, but like to have plent of room to be comfortable if i choose to ride two up. i like to drop in the occational mud hole, but by no means am i a hard core mudder. im leaning towards the foreman, but i own a rancher now, and have never owned anything but hondas. i love my rancher but it just seems too small.

Hmmm, the vote thing didn't work, but I can say I'm happy with the new Rancher 420 riding 2-up with my wife ... see my photos.

Mykool, an important consideration is how large you and your wife are. I'm 160 lbs., and my wife is about 115, and we do fine on our Rancher 420. I do notice the extra power and acceleration when she's not on the back, but it's fine just trail riding together 2-up. If you folks are much larger than us, it would make a difference.

If you want reliability, I'd recomend the sprtsman, they are very well made and capable. We have an 04 Sportsman 700 that we have never had a problem with, and its fast. It's also the most comfortable ATV I have ever been on, It's like riding your sofa around, and if you get a newer one, you can get the lock and ride back rest, which is also quite comfortable.
