yes they do have their place; they really shine at significant speeds on the dunes.
a friend of mine has one, and we swapped quads one weekend and went to tahuya. i rode in that thick-*** forest for about 4-5 hours before our first break. that quad IS NOT meant for the woods. it sucked. powerband was really whacky, suspension sucked, tires REALLY sucked- but maybe that's because the motor was too powerful and the ground was too loose, but whatever.... i did have fun, i mean being out there on anything with tires and a motor is fun.
it's a nice quad dont get me wrong but i would take my 400ex anyday on trails.

suspension sucked? it has the same travel as your 400EX......
(they could use better shocks from the factory though)
Wacky powerband?! wacky? you mean it .......... has power? lol

i dont know how they compare in specs but i do know that it is WEIRD riding that shee in tight woods. something that i dont think i can get used to
i guess im just used to my 400's grunt.... seems i had to wind it pretty high to get over some big stuff and through deep stuff.
well ****, the things got oodles of power, it's just developes in a weird place (does that make sense? im having trouble describing it)

Roost, (troy)
Im doin very good.
Near San Diego. Im in a city called Temecula.
Things are great. Have a little boy on the way, 2 more months!
Anyhow, the glamis trip is this weekend! Will be getting there friday the 29th in the late afternoon, and leaving sunday.
I cannot wait... Me and my bro gonna be there.
We will both have our quads and bikes. I will have the Shee, and the KX500, and he will have his LT and his KX500.
We will be at olds hill saturday at 10am to watch those friendly races as mentioned in that other post..
If your gonna be there, I will look for that banshee of yours. Watch for me, as that morning im sure I will be on the KX500.
Look for the number "3" on the front numberplate. (green KX5 with black and white front numberplate, and the shee is a 97' black and red)
