Ah, ugly you say. But as we all know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There are some guys (probably homos) in my office that think J-Lo's butt is too big. Too big for what? Go figure.

I would just like to stick that motor in my 400.

From the pics I've seen the LE looks a little funky but I like the rims. Other than that all the Cats look "BADA$$!"

It doesn't look any different than the 500I's have the last 2 years. Are you nuts or what?

Is it the color or the body styling that you don't like. They do make the 650 in red and dark green also without the brush style front bumper and rear bumpers. Andy's right they look the same as the 500i's have for the past two years, except for the new instrument pod.

There is little excitement generated with the ATV magazines about such a significant entry into the market? When the Grizzly, Rincon and the Prarie 650 were introduced, the magazines used it as their top stories. Generally, the magazines (particulary High Torque) appear to dismiss AC machines much the same as they did with Polaris years ago? Um, very strange!

Maybe because this is a rebadged Prarie 650 with an independant rear? Nothing too "groundbreaking" ...

So does this mean the 500's are "rebadged" Vinson's because they have the same motor?
