howdy all....my name is brian, i'm new to the forum, and im from west virginia. i've rode dirt bikes and 4 wheelers all of my life, but i've been out of it for about the last 10 years. i'm looking to buy a couple atvs or maybe even a side by side.

from looking around at what all is out there the 3 that i'm really interested in is the polaris 800, outlander 800, and brute force 750. anyone have any input on those? i'll prolly be buying used......so any years to stay away from or anything like that?

if i would end up going with a side by side it would prolly be a razor.

the other atv would be for my wife and i really dont know what would be good for her. shes a pretty experianced rider, but i dont want to get something too big that she couldn't handle.

any input from you would be greatly appreciated.......great site.....and you guys have got some bada$$ rides.......thanks

majority of riding will be on trails, woods, and mud.
