Hi I am not too sure about the Bruin...But around here you can get a Kawasaki 360 for about the same price and it comes with a 3 year warranty.
The guy I ride with all the time has a kawi 360 and it is an awesome quad for the money. I just thought since they are somewhat similar the 3 year warranty might be attractive to you.

Eiger is a #1 super buy, most quad for your buck. All the magazines have ranked it as a shoot out winner. Plus it has a low range.
Only the outlander outperforms it and that is mainly in the power department, but it is alot more exspensive.

I rode with a bruin this weekend long story short my quad with bald stock tires went more places and did not have to keep getting pulled out. Also the long hill climb he ATTEMPTED numerous times but ran out of power, probably due to lack of low range, was only crested when he was winched up. One last thing the bruin has a tippy prob, on several off camber trail sections the bruin kept having his rear wheel on the uphill side come off the ground, and on fast sections it kicked the rear end up and the front end would dive to one side causing instability,by the way the rider was far from not being experienced, he is probably better than me and the other guy we were riding, with he was riding it to see why his wife was always complaining about it handleing like crap. I like riding with the bruin, it makes my eiger look even better than it already is.

Depends on what you plan on using it for. If you're going to do serious mudding or use a snow plow I'd go with something with more cc's and a low range. I bought mine for hunting, light farm work, and easy trail riding and couldn't be happier. Especially since it was $4550 OTD.
