<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>get the manual Vinson instead of the belt slipping automatic </end quote></div>

Thats why Suzuki has only one small 375cc Manual utility ATV left in there entire line up and dropped the 500cc manual altogether because they worked sooo well.

But they did go with the slipping belt on there big powerful 750 Utility .[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

lazy riders. should also include bad riders that can't figure out how to shift (why a lot of them ride ATVs instead of bikes too)

never thought I'd see the day you can't buy a truck with a standard. Try getting an extended cab 1500 chevy with a standard.

Because its just unnecessary, City diving with a standard truck why? I know how to drive standard on anything but why shift if there is no advantage in it,its just a unnecessary chore ATV or truck.

My buddy rides a vinson and has never had any problems, it also has really good power. Never really cared much for polaris other than the irs.

Mines not old yet but I've had water up to the lights, mud, big hill climbs in the moutains and now 3 days in the dunes (dunes being wide open all the time). And I have yet to have belt slip. even while pulling my 300#+ body up and through it all.

I didn't want auto but it was the last one I could find locally..So far Im really happy

The Vinson has far superior engine brakes in steep and loose situations. Vinson has far superior non-linked brakes. Vinson with solid rear axle and more motor will be much sportier and better on hills. Vinson has a proven track record of reliability.
So, dah, trade for the newer Vinson.
