Ok looking into buying one of these in the next 2 weeks. I am looking for a good mud / trail quad. I know the IRS is soft but i dont really care for it that much. Ive been told by others that IRS is better for mud but if you look its only basically 1/2 inch more. Im just looking to see which one has more low end torque and which one would better suit a mud quad. I've been told you cant go wrong with the 5 speed vinson its quick loves mud and soft for a SRA just seeing what ya think.

they are both great quads but its really personal preference. i looked at both and bought the vinson auto. i say sit on them both take your time and ride them both if possible. the main thing i didnt like about the kodiak is i just felt cramped up on it and the price the dealer gave me seemed way high for a kodiak.
