Best side x side ATV?
I guess as part of growing up (old) I should sell my motocross bike (2006 CRF 450R) and get a cool little side by side that I can run around town in
and out to the beach and stuff.
Best place to look for a cheapish side by side. SoCal I'm thinking.
I'm not really finding them on like ATV trader.
Wheelie-ing my way to the grocery store would be fun the 1st couple of times but after that I guessing 4 wheels is better.

They had me at the 1st blond. The rest was just rubbing my face in it.

How bad do you want one? Just go back to work for awhile or simply buy a side by side. Your choice is....?
Hope you enjoy your side by side.  )

I am thinking the same thing and going back and forth between 2 seater and 4. 4 seats is more room for gear if its just a 2 person trip and more room
for people visiting going around town. Race Dezert has a bunch but most are pretty spendy and probably beat on pretty good. I'm thinking one that has
been raced and prepped every time for a good price. Saw one the other day for 10.5K and had all the goodies but I was a day late.

40mph, come on now. Rhino is for working a farm, not exploring Baja.

I mean I have my F-350 offroad 4x4 monster truck so I can get around but...
I think right now it says 8 mpg on it's gage. Best I ever did was 12 with a low 6.

But I will tough it in my f350 until I find me a little jeep for xploring around.

Thank you for caring
