should i trade,,,

I test rode one the other day. Very tractable power: Strong from low to top end. Will wheelie with little or no muscle-effort. IRS still a little "roll-y" but not as much as the BF. We are going to do a shoot-out w/ all of the big bore 4x's the first of next month. I'll be able to get a better taste for it by jumping from on to the other..........
I still like my Vinson, and intend to keep it unless......................

i am not a fan of irs, to me it tips everware. everyone says the polaris irs is the one to match, well if the kq matches it, then i dont like it, i have seen polaris irs machines roll in places i drive right through.

200cc's- well its tough to say, do you ever feel powered out on your vinson, where the motor is lugging and just can go over something, because i sure dont,

how fast does a ute need to be. i bet the vinson handles better. but today will be the test. 200cc's more 1st model year problems, and it still wont wheelie sitting down, doesnt look like its worth it to me.

v581, I was at the zuki dealer ready to purchase an 04 LE vinson. The dealer let me take a ride on it in a field, it was great and I was pleased. Then he pulled out a twin peaks... More power, better handling, lower to the ground but just as much ground clearance. I got a better deal at the kawi dealer, but I still ended up with a v twin.

581,

I agree...I'll keep my Vinson for a little while longer.

What do you Vinson owners think about the Mudlites? I'm thinking of getting some (26") but am a little worried about losing power.

well i went to the dealer and they didnt have any, or arent getting any in BS!!! this is the largest dealer in the northeast and they dont have any wtf.

mudlites, go for the 26s they are a lite good handleing tire, no complains so far.

as far as why i bought my vinson. i would have ended up with a grizz but it would not have been in till the spring and didnt want to wait 6 mounths, so i bought the vinson in 01, it was better than everything out there includein the 600 griz.
