Just bought a new Eiger. Had the Kawasaki 650 loaded in my truck and passed the Eiger walking back in the dealer. I asked to test drive it for grins and it was great. When the dealer told me he could sell it for $4660. I unloaded the Kawasaki and loaded the Eiger. Has anyone else bought a Eiger? If so any first thoughts. I find it smooth, fast and a better ride than my old Praire 400 or the new 650. Dont get me wrong, its doeant snap you back like the 650, but its fast and $2000 less.

 

wow it must be awesome if you gave up the 650 for it!

 

I'm not trying to put it down or anything, but has anyone else noticed that it looks like a big recon?

 

I LOVE the new eiger! I am a big recon and rancher fan, and this is a lot like them, only bigger, faster and better(in my opinion). Front disc brakes, large fuel tank(15 liter), good ground clearence(9.3&quot, cheap price, strong motor( same as in 375 ac, and it is said to be fast for a 375) plus it looks like a honda recon/rancher. I've heard it handles good,is smooth, and is fairly fast. I would get the 2wd foot shift(oh yeah, the foot shift has floorboards, unlike the rancher)

Fran, once you get the Eiger broken-in, could you post the top speed, and do a review on it? I assume you bought a 4wd because of the price, but this may be a future modle I may get(2wd version), unless I crack down and get the rumored 450/650ex that may come out in 4 days. The eiger is a lot more practicle for me, but I love high performance, and would miss it if I got an eiger. I need 2 machines!
