I've been looking at buying a new Vinson and was curious as to how much people are paying for them. So far I have been quoted $6K with a warn winch from one dealer and have heard that some people have been getting soaked for around $7K in the Minneapolis area after taxes. I was looking at the September issue of Dirtwheels (creators of inaccurate information) and they state that the Vinson will be available for a special reduced price for those that are sold before December 31st. They didn't elaborate much more than that.

Also, how do you like the handling? Is it comparable to the Hondas ergonomics? I hear that people haven't liked the floor boards. But that won't be an issue to me. I keep my feet on the pegs most of the time.

Hopefully the local dealer will be getting his shipment in soon so I can go ride one to see if it's what I want. Thanks for any info!
