I've owned 12 ATV over the last 15 years............

yamaha, honda, polaris, don't look further, in that order.

newest quads bring power steering and fuel injection.

2011 yamaha has a 450cc mid sized quad with power steering, 700CC offers fuel injection plus the power steering. Yamaha Grizzly can't go wrong, polaris Sportsman, both very nice machines, I own both with 4 ATV's in my shop now.

If you're into performance, weight is everything, just like a porsche. The new 450 from yamaha is a mid size nimble quad you can weave through trees. Bigger 700+ CC's are damn heavy, pushing 600-700+ pounds. A winch is value added to get you out of a ditch.
