Question:
Dear Motorhead,
Could you please tell me what is the best atv with the best, smoothest ride? I had a lower back operation 3 years ago and a neck fusion 1 1/2 years ago. I NEED TO WEAR A NECK COLLAR AT ALL TIMES.
We use our ATVs mainly for trail riding and a little for snow removal. I now have an 2003 Kawasaki 700 utility and need something that is noticably smoother.
Looking forward to your expert advice.
Patrick

Thanks for your email!
If you regularly read All-Terrain Vehicle Magazine you would see the common thread with ride quality is Polaris. In our opinion, the best riding Sport Utility ATV’s in the biz are Polaris Sportsman models.
Among those models I would suggest and have verified through many miles of testing the Sportsman Touring or the Sportsman X-2 are the best of the best. This goes for all the full-size Sportsman models with varying powerplants (500, 700, 800).
Hope this helps you with what seems like a pretty important decision in your particular situation.
