Thinking about picking up a 4 wheeler but dont know anything about them. How hard are they to ride and do you need any kind of special licenses or permits?......I'll get insurance on it to be safe.....I have alot of trails and wooded areas near me where I have permission to ride through.

As long as you go easy and learn the area you ride before you try anything "speedy", quads are a lot of fun and very enjoyable to ride. Insurance is a great idea, as well as registration if the law requires it. Not sure what type of trails you have around you, as that would determine the type of machine to look at. We own 43 acres of wooded mountain land in the Adirondacks, so heavy nosed 4 wheel drive was the only logical choice for us. Most dealers will let you test drive them, so give a couple a shot and see what you like!

What kind of 4wheeler are you lookin at. I had a Honda Rancher 350. I suggest getting a new one or one thats no more than 3 years old. Modding 4wheelers can be as addicting as modding cars too.

Yeah a lot of people mod ATV's.

I highly recommend getting an older ATV for your first one. The prices go way down, and some of the models unlikely to be abused tick on in perfect condition almost forever. IMO there isn't a lot that can be wrong that a test ride wouldn't hint at.

If you see yourself doing crazy powerslides and throwing dirt everywhere go for a cheaper 2wd model. If you like the idea of crawling over difficult terrain a bit slower, something like a Honda fourtrax 300 4x4 would be good. I've always liked those Hondas because they're smaller than pretty much every other 4x4 quad, so it's often easier to get it through tight obstacles than a larger quad. Also, being lighter means that you can change the balance a lot more, or move the bike if necessary.

V, rapper mods don't count, lol. The fourtraxx are nice machines!
