Latest News: Navy Seals And Army Green Berets, pick the Vinson 500 to be high capacity cargo & troop transporter. Vinson will be modified to a two seater. They must have tested the crap out of it, and trust thier lives on it. Good going Suzuki!

 

May i ask where you got that from???

 

Yeah, but the army uses polaris sportsmans.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I'll believe it when I see it. Post a pic or the arcticle.
Polaris makes a special military version and all of the atv pics from Afganistan
where of SpecOps personnel on civy productuion polaris's. I can't see the seals
buying anything other than Polaris atv's as they are already in the system and
field trialed by the military. Not to say that they haven't I just have my doubts.
The Seals have been know use whatever they want.

 

Ever heard of a low bidder? I am sure all the Japanese, Canadian, and American manufacturers make a model that is good enough. But the Vinson is great chioce.

 

I presume they picked the automatic transmission version??? I guess if there is hot lead flying, the last thing you need is to have to worry about what gear you are in. If they went auto only, that means that a lot of perfectly wonderfull manual trans bikes weren't even up for consideration???
