I have a 08 trv, I like mine a lot. I took it up a really steep rocky trail up to 8000 feet with carb, no problems. I went slow too just to see if it had the power to climb and it does. I have ran my quad out of fuel it went 90 miles with two people on it and i was carrying fuel on it, because I wanted to know! The riding conditions were when I ran out, was really soft sand, and on and off hard on the throttle fooling around. So, It wasnt the best for fuel mpg. I bought a big rack for the rear and hauled out my first buck(deer) out lying across it, i nice 7 pointer about 200lbs. steering, is its down fall meaning you need to watch out for rocks, ruts,ect as the steering can pull out of your hands if your not watching. my 17 yr old girl doesnt have any trouble with it but, it can make you tired if your weak. I like mine I live in communist cali and wish I could afford to ride it more
