That's sweet. I am finding out that getting my hands on a 800 XT is alot harder than I thought it was going to be. No one has it in red. The closest yellow is 2 hr and 45 min drive and has 36 miles on it. I found a few greens but really want a red or yellow[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

Megan i would do some research on the bomb it has really had some problems and they have not got them worked out yet. There is a write up on them on the sight quadcrew.com. Go to the site and look up bombardi .There was awrite up about one from aguy who bought one.

 

There is always a few people who have issues, overall the Bomb is doing VERY well for a new release. If they offer a 5 Year warranty, at least they stand behind the product? Dealer, no. Never met a good dealer yet.
Personally I never buy first year release, no matter who makes it.

Megan, I would just search for a dealer on the net, I'm sure you can do the purchase over the phone and have it shipped if nothing else. I would think most dealers will give you a deal, or eat the shipping.

 

Thanks. I am going to check it out right now. I just got off of a site where everyone who owned one had pretty much nothing but good things to say about them. The only bad thing is it does not come w/ a skid plat so everyone highly recommends getting that added asap. I also have a friend who told me about a clutch recall but the dealer told me that has been taken care of? Hearing both sides to every story is good so I am checking out the above site now. Thanks.

 

Have you been to Nyrocs forum? this is a very well respected technical forum. Started with mostly kawi guys, but there is a Bomb index.Nyrocs

Yes, the clutch recall was a brief hiccup, old news. By far there is much more good then bad reviews out.

 

I just got off of the site and read every thread under Bombardier. I did not find anything negative? Only a few people on that site have actually purchased one yet and they all seemed happy w/ the purchase????

 

I have the Outlander 800 MAX and I get about 90 miles to the tank with two riders. It has gotten 100 miles on a tank. On a recent ride with about 12 ATV's (500 Scramblers, Brute Force, Honda Rincons, etc.) we all used about the same 2 1/2 gallons on the trail ride when it was time to fill up. The smaller bikes could not believe that I got similar mileage as theirs with two people on board with an 800cc engine.....

 

Megan,

A freind of mine and I each bought one several weeks ago. We both have over a hundred miles on them. Mostly trail riding in the everglades. We both love them and we were glad we got them. Mine has not had a single problem. His has a speedometer problem. Other that that nothing wrong.

Good luck.

 

megan,

my dealer has an 800xt in red call em 516 248 5555 ask for kenny

another thing is i have one and it is unreal, nothing compares...alot of people talk and bash

be your own judge..oh yea the five yr warranty kicks *** also...nothing like riding and not worrying about things...ever have a quad for more than 4 yrs of real riding..

its a nice cushion...good luck

 

Agree... Thats the chance you take on a 1st year model. But that 5yr warrenty, how can u go wrong?
