Hey I was just thinking(dang that hurt) that most of the Arctic Cat owners seem to be in there late 20's or less. So I would just like to test my theroy and get a list of ages by all the Arctic Cat owners.

I'm 16 and I bought my cat when I was 15.

 

I'm 26. I think AC owners are younger for the most part because of their lower price. This allows a 15-20 year old person that is young and doesn't have a huge cash flow to get a 500 class machine for a lot less than those offered by many other manufacturers.

Thats my take on it. The AC was far and away the best value that I found. Still is. Unless you catch the other machines on year end closeout, you are money ahead to go with an Arctic Cat. On top of that, you get a good price on a machine that is built just as good if not better than those that are priced higher.

 

Well Boner, I am 49 and my wife is 47 and we both have ACs. We went with the ACs for most of the same reasons.

 

Value for the dollar is also the reason why we purchased our Cats. I am 33 & my Dad is 60. My family owned AC snowmobiles in the early 70's and the reasons were the same way back then.

 

Hi BONER:
Well, I'm 42 (43 next friday) and the price and a local dealership are the reasons I bought AC.

Im 42 and think bang for the buck the cats are a better buy.

well Im a young one too at 19 . The main reason was price. I looked at other makes and models, such as SP500 and the 450es & s. My thoughts where the honda road like a lumber wagon and felt down on power all for alot more money then the ac. while on the other hand the SP 500 road great ,had great power. BUt the dealers around here wanted almost 7000 for them while I got my ac 500 with the winch for 5300. that lot of #@$%@^& mods I can do for the price difference. And I also wanted somthing else that not many people had. around my area sp500 are a dime a dozen. I think I made the right pick. One of the main things that I see the sp500 has over the cat is the anti sway bar in the back. I have been tinking around in the shop the last couple of nights. And im trying to build one for the cat. what do you guys think about that idea? well i actually have a day off so Im going riding.
later matty

 

I am 38 and my decision was based only on featurers of the Cat. I must admit the price was great.

Cheers Jim

 

I'm 15 and I want a new ATV, I have looked at every quad maker and I have to say I really like Arctic-cat 400 4x4, I have $5,000. and my parents will pay for half of a new quad. Do you think an AC 400 4x4 is good enough for me????

and BONER I had no clue you were around my age...do you mind telling me how you got the money to pay for your AC 500??

 

Greetings Boner:

I may spoil your theory. I'm almost 63 and my hunting partner is 56, and after months of research, riding various machines,sometimes several times, and talking with other owners we both recently purchased 2001 Artic Cat 500's. We just liked them the best, and money was not a factor, we could have bought any make, but A/C met our needs and we just like the way they feel and handle. I purchase a standard transmission and my hunting partner a automatic. I got the winch and 26 " mud bug tires.
