Default How many miles are on your ATV?

05 Rubicon with 4900 miles and still running strong. The only thing that I done to it is replace the front knuckle bearings and tires. The starter is about to go bad. Sometimes it will click when I hit the start button so I have to hit the starter to get it working. I am going to keep using it until it just quits then I will pop a new one on. We use it on a farm so it gets shut on and off alot. I'm not complaining.

you mean you're putting it away for winter? winter is when the fun starts! the snow just piles up and makes it really smooth (though slow driving)

but if you are lucky (like i was last winter) the snow will melt a bit and become almost slushy, and then it will freeze again- making a PERFECTLY SMOOTH riding area where you can just drive WOT without any worrys of potholes or bumps or anything. (unless of course your quad is too heavy to drive on top of the snow, but outty XT's can do it just fine with their tires

02' Honda Foreman bought new in 03'. Just over 1100 miles and 110 hours.

This has been a mechanically perfect machine but I've been looking into a machine with a "couch-like" ride.

I'm thinking Polaris Sportsman ???

If anyone has any suggestions other than the Sportsman I'm all ears [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] !!

I guess that is true. But brand a brand new Apex costs a lot of money.

1900 Kms on an '07 Kodiak I got in May of '07. But one of my first bikes was a 300 Kawasaki Bayou with no odometer. I rode that bike for close to a decade... never touched the motor and drove it silly... well as silly as a 300 Bayou could get. 4 sets of tires and 3 sets of handle grips. The handle grips always looked like saran wrap when I was done with them. I always hope every bike I get will be as reliable as that old slugg but I don't think they make 'em like that anymore eh?!

Well I personally don't need an Apex... and even if I was in the market for a new sled it wouldn't be that...

Maybe a Phazer RTX but not the Apex..... i am quite happy with My 2005 Ski-doo MX-Z 500ss (actually a 596 cc sled) it does quite well and is lots of fun!
