I was wondering if these quads are as reliable as the japanese a.t.v`s. I know about the visco lock, suspension, and everything else but will they last as long and through the abuse of the proven japenese a.t.v`s ? List what you use you bomb for, type of abuse it seen, what has broke, and mileage. Thanks.

 

80 foot drop off end over end took a licken and kept on ticken. sure i lost the loewer and upper a arms and rear axel but as far as motor and frame shes a beuty.shes not scared of any hill or any race but the driver sure is.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

i have a ds650 with prolly 2k on it as of now, the thing is a beast, only thing that broke on it were driver errors, (hit a pine tree in my yard doing 35 and bent a lower a-arm)

 

The plastic is not only as good as the jap bikes, it's better.

 

IMO the jap bikes don't hold up as good for GNCC racers. The guys I ride with get a new bike every year because they get pretty beat up, the Outlanders have the longest life so far but it could still be even better. I think 2007 will be the year for the Outty's because they had a year of racing under their belt and have learned a lot. The renagade will be even better for GNCC's. Racing improves the breed, after talking to Brp's factory tech at the GNCC's he told me they will be making improvements to next years models.

BIG BOMB IS WATCHING GNCC!

 

Nope, they aren't as tough as Jap bikes; they're tougher.

 

Took mine into a Witches eye at about 30 mph....And only thing was a flat tire. We have 3 DS 650s, and have over 100 hours of riding in the snow, dry mountain fire roads, and loads of time flying in the dunes. This is jumping with 300 pound riders, and hard hard trail riding. Crash and Big D have both rolled or flip theres are numerous occasions, and have only managed a little ding in the Gas Tank cover on Crashes. These things are as strong and as powerful as they come....

 

I have taken mine trail riding pretty hard, snow riding, and up to silver lake a couple of times. The only thing that went out on it was the choke. Stuck all the way open and fowled out the plugs. Other than that, great running machine!

 

Customer service sucks with BRP, I know that much.

 

Not as fast, but they are tough.
