When you think about it, the extra weight on the front could be a good thing for wheelie-prone quads like the 400EX for example. Do wheelies when you want, not accidentally plus, of course, the ability to go just about anywhere a utility can.

OK, I ride in the desert where mud isn't an issue, but except for snow (around here if you want to ride in snow you have to go to the mountains looking for it), I can't imagine a situation where I would ever need a winch, even on my Ranchers. And a sport bike is so light, you just pick it up and carry it. One advantage of desert riding!

seems like the wrong machine for a winch, if your mudding the 4x4 seems like a better choice.
