I picked up my 2003 Vinson the other day. Took it out on the snowy trails for an 18 mile ride and am very impressed by it's performance. It handled very well and I thought it to have remarkable menouverability compaired to my Prairie. I'm happy with my new atv and hope to get many years of enjoyment out of it. There were 8 other quads out there with me....Prairie 650, Yamaha Grizzly600, Honda Rubican500, Polaris Sportsman400, Honda Rancher350, couple of sports and an Arctic Cat500. The Vinson handled all hills and rough terrain with ease....I even had to pull the Prairie up a steep hill with my Warn winch. A couple of the other riders took mine for a ride and were very impressed with the power and the way it handled. I did a lot of research before I bought this machine and felt it was the best quad for the money....I was right!!

Just thought I'd share my experiences with my new Vinson...and if you're in the market for a new 4X4 sport utility consider the Vinson, its got ALL the right stuff!

 

I was happy after looking at the Suzuki website that the Vinson 5 speed will be back for 2004. I am considering buying one.

 

im happy you feel the same way me and just aboiut every other vinson owner feels. they are a great machine especaily when you are beating bigger quads with it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I own an '03 vinson as well. Had it for a year now. Its total stock except for 27" ITP 589 m+s tires all around. I have driven pretty much everything out there, and nothing compared. Just would like to see independent suspension back in the swing.

 

This is good news to me. I too have done a lot of research looking for a new ATV. Everything always seems to point back to the new Vinson. I prefer the manual shift though. Thanks for the input!
