cjcrider -> What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 2:15:57 PM)

My dad is getting a bit older and the old 1991 Yamaha isn't quite cutting it for comfort.  We have 600 acres of land and he likes to dink around it a lot.  He has been talking about getting a better riding ATV and I think my brothers and I are going to go in together and pick one up for him as a gift.

My question is this:  What is the smoothest, most comfortable atv out there?

Power is not paramount here....but rather comfort.  We have a lot of trails that are just rough to run on with the older machines.  I'm think one of the newer IRS machines might be nice.  But some of them seem stiff as a board on the showroom floor.

Anyway....let me know your thoughts.  And please don't start fighting with each other over brand loyalty and turn this into a bashing thread....

I kno i rode a bigbear 400 its pretty smooth being its a IRS bike a SRA bike is not that smooth riding from what ive been on. I know my honda rides like a brick but its a mud bike.

check out polaris 400 or 500 I think polaris makes the smoothest bike



NICOPO -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 2:29:06 PM)

Polaris Sportsman, and not just because i own. I've rode quite a few brands and it is by far the most comfortable. I just wish that had power steering when I got mine. I'm sure more people will post on this topic, and Polaris will most likely win the consensus.



Poolaris800 -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 2:44:00 PM)

I'm going to say Polaris Sportsman, The seat is very soft too.. not like the Honda BRICK seat that wouldnt indent with a elephant on it



Rebel_Girl19 -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 2:50:28 PM)

I'd say polaris are like a couch.



blake777 -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 2:51:24 PM)

grizzly 700....with the power steering



GWC -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 2:51:45 PM)

Most IRS bikes do infact feel very stiff when you push down on them or just set down on them on the show room floor, they will smooth out once under way. The Polaris is one of the smoothest riding quad and mine would not move a 1/4" while it was setting still but once under way it was like a marshmellow.
I also think the Honda Rincon is spose to be a smooth riding atv as well.



Bunk650 -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 2:53:18 PM)

yeah, I've heard popo's are 4 comfort...



JPs300 -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 2:58:52 PM)

My buddy own's a 99/00 sportsman. Getting off my 300 makes that thing feel like a lazy-boy. - They have to be the cadillac of atvs(weight wise as well).



BrokenKitty -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 3:03:40 PM)

Ya i rode my friends po 500 it rides nice but  the seat wow i wish arcticcat had a seat like them lol but my vote is popo .



let_it_be_known -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 3:22:23 PM)

the grizz and rincon are both smooth bikes.. but the Polaris is definitely where its at with ride quality..



king_quadder -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 3:29:58 PM)

Smoothest ride, Polaris......nicest to drive, 700 grizz with power steering!



VannMcCullar -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 3:31:16 PM)

polaris sportsman and honda rincon get my vote



curl -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 3:34:05 PM)

if you or your brothers are going to borrow it when he is not looking,get a can-am.he will have the comfort and yall can enjoy the power.if he will be the sole rider get a polaris and save the money.it will have plenty of power and you cant beat the smooth ride for what they cost.

     I'll buy that one!! [;)] For what you described, I'll say PoPo all day long! For that, I don't think yall/he'll be disappointed! [:D] Good luck & later                    Brandon



outdrsmn82 -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 3:39:34 PM)

my votes for the king quad. but i havent rode a popo either. suzuki turns their shock tension down for a smoother ride.



STUMP KNOCKIN 450 -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 4:08:03 PM)

grizz 550 or 700.  if you turn down the shocks it will ride great and it has power steering which i think would be great for anyone...especially the elderly.



Voodoo -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 5:34:17 PM)

Outty or Sportsman....I have owned them both..and they are about the same...



southern boy -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 5:52:59 PM)

as much as i hate to say it... popo



05BlueGrizzly -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 6:12:13 PM)

My vote would be for the Grizzly 700 with power steering and remove the sway bar on the rear. I haven't ridden any new model Polaris so i cant say either way on them.  either way it will be a hue improvement on what he has now.

by the way PM me the price of the 91 model after you get him the new one. hahaha



farmerboy700 -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 6:18:07 PM)

POLARIS ITS JUST GOOD OLE AMERICAN QUALITY!![;)]



rdnek1112 -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 6:51:06 PM)

jallement1054 -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 8:24:56 PM)

ANY ATV AS LONG AS IT HAS A CAN AM SEAT ON IT!!



Alster -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/11/2008 8:25:11 PM)

Bet the ones you rode had spacers under the springs.



drew7693 -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/13/2008 3:20:03 PM)

i don't know if price is an issue, But if you have the option I bet you he would love a Rhino, or some type of UTV.



electricstart -> RE: What is the smoothest riding ATV out there? (9/13/2008 6:54:09 PM)

Got to go with Rincon for ride.
