It would be great if the dealers hand like 5 miles of land so you could test out all the atv's they had there before you purchased the one you liked. That would save alot of trouble with having to choose the right atv for ya, or for your kids. I know most of us test ride a friends machine or we just listen to our friends or people on this forum for advise. I just think it would be nice to test the machine that you want before you purchased one.

My (2) Cents.

 

I was lucky to have a dealer that let me ride a DS for about 30 mins out back on a section of trails. When the 01 Raptors came out I went to my Bomb dealer and rode a DS and went to a local Yamy dealer. A guy I knew worked at the Yamy dealer and let me ride a Raptor across the lot and back and I had already ridden the DS. Because of the size and stability there was no comparision. Ive been a loyal DS guy ever since. I have owned a Raptor along with several other quads but they all seem to come and go but the DS is always a fixture in my garage. Im just glad we have a choice. I remember when the 400 EX came out and I bought one. I loved it but there really werent any other 4 strokes to choose from. Now look at the choices. Life is good

 

there are a few that will let you saddle up on one.

 

BRP dealer in Sullivan, MO. that has a track behind the store and will let you test ride.
They all should have some area, but you know how it goes with retail, many are in a congested area with no room to do so.

 

I too got to ride my DS before I purchased it. In fact, I knew more about the bike than the dealer. LOL! He let me ride wheelies on it in the parking lot and everything. Of course he had approx 5 acres of parking. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
