I'm considering getting an Eiger 5sp. I'm keeping my Kodiak of course as it has been such a fine quad. I've rode the Eiger auto and it definitely is NOT as quick as the Kodiak. However, on the Suzuki board they are saying that the Eiger 5 sp will run circles around a Kodiak. If it does it's fine w/ me cause again, I may get one and I want something with some pep and top end. That is why I'm not getting a big bear or a Honda 450. Fine bikes but just lacking in speed and top end (not power). Any of you guys have any insight on the subject? Thanks.
