Looking at getting my first quad.  I need back-country transportation and light hauling apps.  I want to still have “fun” riding, but racing is not in my future; wheels will remain in contact with earth at all times; etc.

Where can I start comparing all models and all features? 

What are “must haves”, “nice-to-haves” and “waste-of-money” features?

If “size matters”, I'm about 170 lbs and would average 30 lbs of gear.

Web sites are plus.  Start simple; no detail is too basic from where I'm sitting…..
