Default looking at 07 650H1

I am looking for something durable and reliable. One thing that bothers me is the 650 is so big . Also how does the 650 handle climbing hills, with all the power it should do great, but is it tricky trying to keep the front end on the ground, I do know it has to do with the rider and throttle. Unfortunatly the dealer doesn't allow test drives so I am looking for some good feedback.

I climb everything in my way, lol. AC is a good machine, and with the H1 you will be able to pull a house in low gear.

I have an 07 H1 650 and the power is great and if you are smart about it i wouldn't worry about climbing over anything. The ground clearence is excellent, it will go over anything without any hangup. I would recomend getting one.

I wouldn't worry about it as long as you distribute your weight correctly. It is all in the driver.

Can't speak for the H1, but my 500i climbs very well. Like any big quad, lean forward and try not to make any sudden changes with the gas. You can pop the front end up pretty easily. Keep a steady thumb on the gas, don't go jamming it on once it's climbing, and it does great.
