Im in the market for another ATV I have 400 Kodiak and a 400 Arctic cat, both manual trannys. I know there are 500 cc out with manuals but is there anything bigger?

 

i believe the biggest manual trans utility you will find will be a 500. this is because quad manufacturers see that most people who buy the really big utilitys want a auto rather than a manual

 

If anybody expects to sell me a bike, it better have a manual transmission!

 

Ditto.

 

The closest that you will get to what you are asking for is the Rincon 650.

 

!!! exactly !!!

 

the suzuki vinson does but it's still a 500

 

I used to feel the same way. I now have a Prairie 700 and love it. It takes some getting used to and its very different from my past manual hondas, but its a great machine none the less. When done correctly, belt drives are very useful on a utility atv. Dont knock it until you try it. And dont give me the crap about a polaris that you or someone you once knew owned and how crappy it was. The old polaris' suck, but you cant hold a grudge against all belt atvs based on experiences you had years ago. Every year the belts get better and better. Even the P650 system was surpassed by modifications in the newer Praires, twin peaks, and brute force.
