GOLODOO after you've had a chance to try that Wolverine 450 out post some opinions. My kid's been wanting one. He wants a 4x4 to hang with his ol' dad, but he wants it to be sporty too. The wolverine looks like it would fit the bill. Tony

I bought it home on 4/14 and the wife has about 15 miles on it,I have rode it as well a little,1st imprewssion is very good.Wheel base is 41.7" wide,I was worried about stability,but doesn't appear to be tippy.Power delivery is smooth & manageable,4WD does not require alot of effort to steer! Very nice package! I wanted my wife on a 4WD but she as well does not like the Utility quads!This is the ideal unit for her! I have a GYTR pipe ordered & some other items to "pep" it up a little! She came off a V Force 700(literally)it is my old atv I passed to her & she likes the power,But she had a mishap on a dusty trail and required shoulder surgery! So it is a mutual agreement for her well being she tries to control a bit more!We like to ride in the winter and this will be ideal! The tires are very good as well radials all around and with a good bite!It goes thru a good bit of mud in 2WD! I will keep you posted as I have time!

GOLODOO sorry to hear about you wife's unfortunate accident. Still sounds like the bike for my son. Let me know how it develops, I think I'm going to go to the dealer and have a look. Thanks Tony
