I just test drove the Vinson and Eiger today......the turn radius on the Eiger seemed much better and the handling was alot easier. Is that to be expected or am I just a newbie that needs some more saddle time before I make such a comparison. I'd like to go bigger with the 500, but not if the handling is worse.

Comments from the seasoned vets?.........thanks!

 

I don't have any seat time on the Vinson but I can't see where it would not handle as well or better than the Eiger. The only advantage that the Eiger has is about a 30 lb weight advantage and is set up with very light steering. I know the Eiger has a very tight turning radius, almost as tight as a Recon but either the Eiger or the Vinson has more than enough power to break out the back end to spin it around.

No doubt the Vinson will be the faster, better suspended machine. As to if you need the 500cc's - that's up to you and how much money you want to spend. My Eiger hauls my 200+ lbs around anywhere I want it to, as fast as I need it to go.
