I am 29 years-old. Thank you for your advice. The best way I think is to try
that Vinson. Do you know if usually, dealers have one to try ?

It depends. Some will let you, but only on the factory demo they have, which may or may not be the model you are looking at. Personally, I wouldn't deal with anybody that wouldn't let you ride one.

Take a look at the Arctic Cat lineup. Great ride, and better prices too.

Good luck.

nelio - While you're looking at the Vinson, check out the Eiger - also by Suzuki. With your weight and size it will give you all the speed you want plus the Eiger has a very light steering effort.

Eiger comes in auto or 5-speed, 2wd or 4wd. An automatic costs about $1,000 less than the Vinson.

One of my buddies recently purchased the vinson for the same reason. He also weights nearly the same. I would "highly" recommend the vinson to anyone looking for a "utility" machine. The vinson will be able to handle any task given and then some. It has speed and power both and the price is reasonable. Go with the vinson and you will never be disappointed!!!

jburglund, Boy are you a smug one or what.

I don't go looking for fights. I was merely explaining that he was never going to get his question answered in the way he was asking it. He never stated that he was "bilingual".


If you have a comment to make about my posts, at least you could type out my name rather than referring to me as "somebody".

Wanna KNOW a little secret? I KNOW why the Polaris, ArticCat, and Bombardier owners despise of me so. But you KNOW why already don't you?
Well......................keep wishing.

Knowsalot, you said, "Wanna KNOW a little secret? I KNOW why the Polaris, ArticCat, and Bombardier owners despise of me so. But you KNOW why already don't you?

Quite frankly, I have no idea what your talking about. Enlighten us about why so many people despise you.

Why so confrontational? I was trying to help the guy, you jumped all over him.

Maybe you are the one that things that was a confrontational post , but it was anything but that.

I told him why people were asking the questions they were asking. I did this because it was obvious that he didn't understand what they were asking.

I suppose my last sentence of that post seemed to you that I was "jumping all over him". Well I was just telling it how it is. Like always.

If you didn't understand my reference to X Brand owners, then I wouldn't expect you to understand anything else that I have posted within this topic........Including my post to nelio.

Over and out.

If my 5'2" 105 lb wife can handle an Eiger you shouldn't have any trouble with the Vinson. I say go for it!
