Which to get?

Hey guys. It is time for a new ATV. My dad has a Polaris 2005 Sportsman 500 that I have been riding. He wants me to pick out a ATV to get so I am not beating his up up

So I am looking for something that I can wheelie and be able to drop it on its rear end without breaking something. I want acceleration and it will need to be able to do a little mudding. We live on a gravel road so I will be personally cleaning/replacing filters. I would like to stick with Polaris but I am open to anything. I am buying used and my price tag is about $3000. I test drove the Polaris Outlaw and loved it! But I would rather have some feedback first. Remember, the ONLY stunting will be wheelies. Thanks guys.:YEAH

Yea I like my dads 500 because it is just reliable.

The Honda's I have driven and they seem to lag power.....

I rode a 250ex. Even the early models WITHOUT the clutch could be pulled up with some effort... The new ones have a sportclutch or something like that.

Re: Which to get?

I ride a 2000 400ex and it gets up in 1st for the slow stuff but has plenty of power in 3rd or 4th for power wheelies. its reliable and not 1 thing has boken (accept for the exhaust studs but that was me) this cost me $2000
