I have a friend who is looking at the 05 AC 500, and the Vinson. I am Suzuki all the way, but that AC has a lot of nice features, and looks pretty darn good too. What would you do?

Thanks
Doug

 

if youre old or a redneck go for the vinson. If not then get a sport quad and have some fun

 

It depends on riding style, not your age and wether you're a redneck or not...

 

get the vinson, arctic cats are too damn heavy, and i dont know ifits a manual or not, but i dont like their shifters,,,,

 

lol i would get the vinson or the AC Cat

 

I'm an old redneck, but I already have 2 Vinsons'. I am asking for an old non-redneck friend. We do a lot of trail riding and some mud and snow. Up here in Alaska a 4x4 is pretty much a must, so a sport is not an option.

Thanks
Doug

 

Go for the vinny

 

l iam a redneck to , not " old " but a redneck lol i love my 4x4's

 

Im the NON-Redneck friend that SNUG was asking about, and it may just be my opinion but I've ridden utility bikes in areas where sport bikes couldn't get to if they were assembled 50 feet away. I have previously owned a two wheel ATV and loved to rid it (when I lived in the mid west), but ever tried to take a two-wheel-drive bike over a glacier or though a river that is over 3 foot deep? Redneck or not, you'd be laughed at..........Then towed. We are talking about Alaska, (a true tesing ground for all 4x4 ATVs). But all coments are welcome.

show me whats redneck about my vinson, every person in this topic would loose to my redneck mobiel in a race lmao. i did also buy a 400ex to race, and have a factory rm, for the speed side. they have there place, and cant do what vinny can.

i love the vinson sporty as heck, and the ac's are tippy+heavy

the vinny comes in 5spd and auto.

and if you think of true testing here ya go man.
