good burnouts, okay donuts and if u want to do a wheelie u gotta be real heavy ona hill or get a clutch kit. and they are a little tippy, but just as tippy as a sport quad since it has a rear solid axel.

I think they're the best all-around ATVs you can get.

Mine wheel wheelie no problem. I'm not good at riding them yet, but I can get the wheels up any time. (5'10", 220 lbs) Donuts no problem in 2WD, just gotta know how to shift your weight. What surface are you trying to do a burnout on? I tried it on rough concrete and the tires hook up too good. I would say no the stoppies because there's only one brake handle and then the emergency brake for rear only. They are kind of heavy for their size so they're not tippy at all.

Great power and super durability out of the box. There's good deals on 05 models and several sweet financing options. Parts are cheap, they're easy to work on if you ever have to.

The only con I see about buying one now is that the new ones are orange and odds are next year they will have 500 EFI.

they are great quads. You have the 4x4 capabilities along with the 2x4 also, al at the flick of a switch. They are a great sport quad. You do not need to be on a hill or way allot to do a wheeli. They pull wheelies very easy. They are alittle tippi. You can do good burnouts and donuts with them. There fast and all around they are a great quad.

My friend has an 05' 500. Good power. Won't do a wheelie just sitting there, well it comes off the ground about 2 inches. Pretty darn tippy on gravel piles. Can do donuts but its kind of hard to get it started considering the weight. I don't know about the stoppie part. All and all though, they are a great quad.
