For adults up to 5'10â€, a smaller ATV (around 400cc) should be a good fit, unless you have a specific reason for needing something more powerful. And for taller riders, we recommend looking at 500cc machines and higher. For maximum comfort when riding, you want a machine that's going to match your physical stature.
Top speed: The top speed of a stock Yamaha Big Bear 350 is 40 mph. Many variables may alter the speed, such as rider weight, terrain, and vehicle condition. In ideal conditions, for example, you may be able to get up to 45 mph.
The Big Bear 350 was Yamaha Motor's first 4WD ATV model and was released in markets like the U.S. and Canada in 1986.

If you are just planning on using the ATV for general riding around your property or easy trail rides, 550 cc or under is going to be plenty big enough. If you are going to be doing more aggressive trail riding, steeper hill climbing, or some towing and hauling, you will probably want to be in the 500 -700 cc range.
Typically, a standard ATV is about 83 to 85 inches long with a 51-inch wheelbase. With a short bed, you might be able to even fit a 6×6 ATV, although that would be pushing it. Turns out the best truck bed for hauling ATVs is the one you have. Just load it up, tie it down, and you're good to go.
Average ATV Weight The average weight of an ATV is 669 pounds (304kg). The lightest ATV weighs 220 pounds (100kg), but this ATV is made for kids. The lightest adult size ATV is the Kymco MXU 150x at 349 pounds (159kg). The heaviest ATV is the Can-Am OUTLANDER MAX 6×6 XT 1000 at 1,170 pounds (531kg).

ATVs weigh anything in the range from about 220 to 1170 pounds (100 – 531 kilos) dry weight, which means the machine's weight without any fluids, cargo, or passengers. The weight of a full-size 4×4 utility and recreational ATV averages about 700 pounds (317 kilos).
ATVs are normally built for just one rider, some are made to carry the operator and one passenger.
As you can see, for sport or racing quads, the weight limit varies but most are around 200 pounds.
Then yes, the 250 I own is rated for 375 pounds total, so unless you and your gear weigh more than that you'll be fine.

ATV use isn't regulated on private property in California, although state law prohibits children 13 and under from operating an all-terrain vehicle on public land without adult supervision.
A stock 90cc ATV will go about 15-18 mph, with the factory speed restrictor in place and an 80lb rider. Adjusting the throttle restrictor, or removing the jumper can increase speeds up to 30-33 mph. With mods, I've even seen speeds over 40 mph.
Generally speaking, no one under the age of 18 is allowed to operate an ATV on California public lands. While driving, the minor is under supervision of an adult who possesses a state-issued safety certificate for operating ATVs.
For any 10 year old that is not into racing, the three ATVs I recommend are the Honda TRX90X, The Yamaha Raptor 90, and the Polaris Sportsman 110EFI. All of these are of good size and power for a 10-year-old and are of good enough quality to take the beating they will be exposed to.
125cc ATVs: 8 - 15 year olds.
Some states require ATV riders to be 16 years old and have a safety certificate. Other states allow kids as young as 10 to ride ATVs as long as they're supervised by an adult with a valid driver's license. The AAP does not recommend ATV use for children and teens 16 or younger.

110cc is pretty small, which means that 110cc ATVs won't go very fast. Up to 35-40 mph is probably what you should expect from such an ATV. There are plenty of things that will affect the maximum speed of a 110cc ATV though.
Parents are advised to keep their kids on 50cc ATVs until the child is both a skilled rider and at least 6 years old, or the equivalent of an average 6-year-old child. Some people may feel that a 50cc quad is too small for their child if they are under 6 years old and a good rider.
A 50cc ATV that has 4 gears can easily travel at over 30 mph and it takes physical strength to control an ATV at those speeds. A 50cc all-terrain vehicle with four gears can travel at more than 30 miles per hour, and a person needs physical power to manage an ATV at these speeds.

The youngest age a child can ride a quad bike under adult supervision is suggested to be 6 years of age. However, there are toy 'quad bikes' or mini quad bikes that are available from as young as 6 months old up to 4 years of age. But these are ones that stay within your home.
ENTRY TO ANOTHER LEVEL. For riders aged 14 and up, the DS 250 pairs a liquid-cooled 250cc engine, CVT and larger chassis as the last step before an adult-sized ATV.
