Exactly- atv's change so much every few years, for someone to say "I'm buying a "brand" today because they were awesome back in 1982" without researching the other many choices & features, is crazy to me. Can-am for example is continously upgrading their models- every year or two they make chassis, plastic, drivetrain or electrical upgrades - (2006-07) (2008) (2010-11). Since 2005, Can-am & Polaris have both ramped up spending on R&D / engineering and are redefining the modern 4x4 ATV. Personally- I'd never even consider buying any 4x4 atv built before 2006.

A lot of people think I'm "branded" can-am, but I'm not- It just happens that at the moment, can-am fits my riding style & riding needs very nicely.
The only atv's I'll ever, or have ever commented / gave an opinion on, are the one's I've owned in the past.

 

Nothing against Moosehenden personally. Never met him, he is probaly a nice guy. I do have trouble with inaccurate posts. I know it is the internet and about anybody can say about anything. Most of the time it occurs when someone is reallly trying to do a good thing and post an opinion. Too often it is based on "I read....", "I heard....., or "my friends friend had......" and may not be the whole picture or downright wrong. Just a pet peeve and I will try to keep it to myself from now on.

 

I'm guessing he did have a nice chair when Kawasaki invited him to personally come try out the 2012 Brute Force.

 

that's right!

I forgot kawasaki invited mr. henden to the new model line up, and he did a fine write up as well
