Ive owned numerous Vinsons and several King Quads. I gotta tell you...the Vinson was the best straight axle bike ever made IMO. Very dissapointed to not see this bike in their line up. I realize that changes must be made.

What I have always dreamed about was a Vinson 700....move over King Quad!

 

i think it was a mistake that they renamed ther entier line up KQ's [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] the eigers gone too... KQ400 is the same mechine, but the name really stood for a damb good mechine

 

When I was purchasing my '08KQ400 (mid-Nov08), I asked my dealer why they did not have any Vinsons' in stock for comparison. The dealer told me that they would order the Vinson if they had a customer who wanted one, but they no longer stocked it because at the Vinson's price point, it was no longer competitive.
He did state that the Vinson was a very good and reliable machine, and that they had sold/ordered several Vinsons in the last year--all as replacements to current Vinson owners.
Take it for whats it's worth--we all know everything a dealer tells you, and everything on the internet, is absolutely true....

 

I know that I said that before but, the Vinson was the best straight axle machine ever built......I absolutely have so many great memories with these machines.

Suzuki has lost ground in the ATV world...I know they are still a great company and I am sure their products good. A while back, I had a very negative experience with the new 700 KQ....after that, I said never again.

Unless.............they made a 700 Vinson. THAT would be my dream bike.
