Quad ATV epinions out there...

$4000 is a steal on that machine with 6 miles. It retails for over 6K. I have never owned a Suzuki but a buddy of mine has one and it has been an excellent quad.

Like someone else said, you need to evaluate your needs before you purchase a four wheeler. Like tractors they have different options for different uses.

Hardly anybody gets 2wd any more but I have found my 2wd Yamaha Big Bear just the thing for my use. We don't get snow and I don't make a habit of going through places that I will get stuck. I did get a winch for the occasional bog.

I think all of the manufacturers make good machines nowadays. I have ridden another buddy's Kawasaki and test drove a Polaris. They were both fine machines.

If I were in the market for one though I certainly wouldn't pass up the Suzuki you mentioned.

IllMarty,
I have been considering the Honda Foremans. What do you find the advantage of the electronic shifter to be? I guess I don't understand the benefit, and I keep thinking it is one more feature to break.
Thanks, Will

Will,
There are 2 advantages for me: 1) I have big 15-ee feet and some times they don't work on shifting pegs very well. 2) I am tall and found that the peg shifter tended to make me ride with my left leg in an akward way. I love the thumb shifter!Marty

I've heard all positive reports from people on their Suzuki's. If you are looking for a utility quad, then this deal is really hard to pass up.

I've always been partial to Polaris, but I could be a Suzuki fan for a deal such as this.

At worst, buy it, if you don't like it turn around and sell it for more than you paid. You've probably been able to try it though, so you know if it's what you're looking for.

I have a Kawasaki Prairie 650, but spent a lot of time looking at the Suzuki and liked them, the Kaw just worked out better for me. At that price I think I would jump on it.

Don't know about the newer ones. But we have an old (early 90's) Suzuki 125 4 wheeler that we keep at our deer camp. To be honest, we have never taken very good care of it, but we have never had a bit of trouble either. Starts right up every year after setting for several months.

tbohen,
Thanx for the offer, but we've decided to weight until next year to bring on the ATV.
All others, thanx for the information. The ATV sight does look like a great forum for ATV like stuff.
