Hey guys i have a buddy that likes yamaha alot he's ad is bigbear since 87 but now he wants a newer quad and he's looking at the outlander alot but he's not sure and i'm trying to convert i'm to our ds family,can you guys give him some info on it,good and bad,thanks.

 

I'm buying one soon..just waiting for the bank to back me up [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] It goes like snot, I've heard that it keeps right on stride with the Polaris 500HO. Awesome suspension, excellent brakes and one of the best, if not the best locking front differentials in the business. Frame engineering makes alot of sense. Hearing alot of good things from other guys that own them. As far as I'm concerned its a great value for a quad!

 

I have had mine for a bit now. Really like it, in fact the more I ride it the more I like it. If you do a search on outlander you will find a ride review I did with a few other folks sharing their opinions.

 

Just bought one after lot of research. Went riding today with a buddy who has a Sportsman 500 H.O. in the dunes. The Outlander did everthing the 500 did for less money. We swapped and my buddy said he thought the outlander climbed the dunes easier than his. I know I am impressed with handling and ride. Right now they have a 3 year warranty. Hope this helps make up his mind.

 

I saw one at the dealer today, nice red color, looks like a great quad, but I wouldn't trade my ds for it!! Maybe when I get a little older, It looks like it has a comfy ride. DS Wolf, if he is going to ride with you, try to talk him into getting a ds, unless he is set on getting a 4WD.

 

Wayne,

4x4 quads are great to have around - they can pack a cooler & take it waaay out into the boonies for your group of DSs. They're also great for towing friends back to camp who had their Raptor tranny blow up. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

Big,he wants a 4x4 because he does lots of hunting,wish i could get him to get a ds but i just don't think it's gonna hapen.
