like others have said, cant go wrong with an older honda or suzuki. either 4x4 or 2wd. get what your friends have, and what is suited to your riding style. being the only 4x4 in a group of bikes or sport quads sucks cuz no one wants to go mudding, or when u do guess who gets to be doing more towing then riding.
i advise you to try and find something relatively stock, unless you now the seller. 400/450 ex are pretty sweet machines. learn how to ride properly and make sure it has some decent tires and you'll be able to go pretty far.
