It was limited to 5, I didn't talk about always roosting my friends, just turning the throttle 1/4, spinning tires up to 5th.
One thing I like : the view is never obturated by mahcines

.... should have known that people would sit there and think of a way to turn this into a chance to brag about their bike.

5 dislikes about my Wolverine....
1) Always nervous about bending that rear axle
2) Brake pads cost me about $300/year
3) Rides a little too stiff (or maybe I'm just getting old)
4) Too cold blooded
5) Headlights keep getting wet and blowing

This is a good idea for a post if people take it seriously. Whenever you ask someone's oppinion about a particular bike, they always sing the praises, and leave out the bad stuff. If I'm looking to buy a new bike, which I am considering, I'd like to know about the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Scrambler 500 4x4

My List
1. Too heavy

2. Hard to find aftermarket tire combos in larger sizes that will fit the bike. (1" taller in front than rear)

3. Steering stem is a terrible design.

4. The plastic actually seems designed to fling more mud on me and do it more efficiently than I could if I flopped off my bike into a mudpit.

5. Finding good-natured ways of responding to people flaming me for buying a Polaris. hehe I usually get them back by not helping them out of the mudhole.....the big meanies! lol

Ok, was that serious enough?

Regards,

MrMan

Yahaha Warrior

1) Crappy airbox design. Might as well just not use a filter and call it good.

2) Tightening the chain requires ASE certification and loaded Craftsman toolbox.

3) Too heavy.

4) Not enough power in the dunes.

5) No damping adjustment on the shocks.
