Well over the past months I have looked at,priced, ridden and researched just about everyting there was to find out about my next quad. I've put way more time and energy into this than most decisions I make, but it's been a fun trip.

I really wanted to keep an open mind and so I looked at and drove every single major brand and also one off brand (Motobishi). There were things I liked and disliked about every brand and even this unit certainly had some weak points but overall I felt for my application this was the way to go.

When it was all said done I decided on a 07 650i BF (Aztec Red). For now it is stock (except of course a winch), but by the end of the summer it will have some 26" or possibly 27" mudlites and some killer rims. Further mods will follow that.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who's posts I have been reading and rereading. Thanks to you I am going into this knowing what to look out for with problem areas and nuances to be aware of.
