Seriously looking at an Arctic Cat.

What does it have that others don't?
And the new models that are coming out, is the 500 changing in any way?

What issues might it have?

Oh, and the rocker shifter on the manuel version. How well that work. When you stand up do you shift?

Going to look at one this saturday.

Thanks guys.

 

No you do not shift when you stand up. There is plenty of room to place your feet without hitting the shifter. I just ride with my heel on the shifter almost. It's pretty comfortable. Yes, I have riden reguler toe shifters like the polaris expedition series. I don't have a preference for my favorite shifter. They both work great. A few concerns have surfaced lately on the brake master cylinders being faulty. make sure your new cat comes with the black metal master cylinder and not the white plastic one that says wilwood on top and you will be fine.
