MOUSIN,
I HAVE RODE THE 500 SCRAMBLER 2X4 AND IT IS NICE AND STRONG. ONLY THING IS I AM USE TO HAVING MORE TORQUE AND POWER STARTING. I REALLY HAVEN'T GOTTEN USE TO THE AUTOMATIC THING YET AND DON'T KNOW THAT I EVER WILL...

 

If you ride on an open track a lot, maybe not. But if you do any trail riding, especially tight trails with hills, you'll treasure the auto trans.

Which ever way you go, just have fun.

Hurry up now! Don't take as long as I did to find one. Winter will be back before ya know it. Heck, if you're like me that really won't matter, I just wanna ride.

Happy shopping!!!
